Sammanfattning:
Today the requirements on availability performance and Life Support Cost (LSC) over the system life cycle has increased and the reduction of maintenance and support cost has become more essential. To meet these requirements Condition Monitoring (CM) and Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) can be employed. These approaches can significantly reduce Life Cycle Cost (LCC) by eliminating unnecessary inspections, minimizing inspection time and effort, and extending the useful life of new and aging components. Two important activities related to CM, that facilitates CBM, and other product support approaches, are diagnostics and its extension towards prognostics. This extension is possible thanks to new technological advances in sensors and failure analysis and is a revolution in the way complex systems can be supported. It is a breakthrough that promises not only more efficient operations and reduced maintenance cost, but also the saving of lives. However, it is not sufficient to limit the CM, diagnostic and prognostic activities to the technical systems, but the support and business systems should also be monitored and analysed to enable condition-based utilization and support of available assets and resources and fulfil ultimate performance requirements. Hence, this paper describes a service-oriented approach to CM and necessary information logistics.
