PK8207 - Maintenance Optimisation
About
Examination arrangement
Course content
The course is lectured every second year. Next time is spring 2020. The focus is decided according to participants needs among these topics:
Maintenance management. Age, block, and minimal repair policies. Optimisation of intervals and intervention level in condition monitoring models. Optimum grouping of maintenance activities. Spare part optimisation. Opportunity based maintenance. Reliability centered maintenance. Optimisation of renewal. Data collection and analysis for use in maintenance management. Data driven prognostic and predictive maintenance (often a main focus). Influence of maintenance on safety and reliability for complex systems. Use of numerical methods.
Learning outcome
Knowledge: Basic insight into the theoretical foundation and practical applications of maintenance optimization. The theoretical foundation shall form a basis for development of new models and methods within maintenance optimization
Skills: Recognising standard situations related to such maintenance optimisation, and be able to develop reasoning for more complicated situations. Solve optimization problems in practice. Assess RAMS performance for systems.
General competence: Understand RAMS as an important cornerstone of industrial and commercial systems and in the public administration.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures, project work and exercises. In the lectures we will actively use personal computers to solve optimisation problems. Exercises and the exam are also based on the use of a personal computer. The lectures and exercises are in English when students who do not speak Norwegian take the course. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral. The course may be run as a seminar based course with full days in blocks after agreement with the students. To pass the course a score of at least 70 percent is required.
Compulsory assignments

Further on evaluation
Portfolio assessment is the basis for the grade in the course. The portfolio includes writing a Project paper counting 50 % and an oral exam counting 50 %. The results for the entire portfolio are graded passed or not passed. Passed requires at least 70 % score in total for the Portfolio.
Specific conditions
Exam registration requires that class registration is approved in the same semester. Compulsory activities from previous semester may be approved by the department.
Recommended previous knowledge
Basic knowledge in mathematics, probability theory and statistics. General knowledge in optimisation theory.
