Industry 4.0 is opening new avenues for reconfigurable and information-centric integration of enterprise functions and control systems. Most of the current approaches (e.g., ISA-95) view enterprise architectures in a pre-defined, monolithic, and hierarchical sense. To enable more innovative, personalized, and efficient manufacturing processes, however, such ‘tree-like’ architectures must turn into...
Selection of appropriate maintenance actions and strategies for preventive maintenance depends on our ability to accurately predict component deterioration, and its impact on overall system performance. The ability to predict component and system behavior under uncertainty depends on the selection of appropriate modeling methodologies that allow decision-makers to represent the complex system interactions...
Maintenance is the science that studies the compendium of technical and management actions, from the point of view of planning as well as management, which enable an organisation to perform economic, safe, efficient and environmentally effective management, according to established quality standards, of any type of asset or group of assets (Fedele et al., 2004). Considering the general applicability...
Recent Advances in Maintenance and Infrastructure Management is a collection of papers highlighting the state of the art in maintenance of large structures and management of infrastructures. The papers selected in this book are written by international experts from academia and industry, and were presented during the past three International Conference on Maintenance Management (MM Conferences) held...
This paper studies static complexity in manufacturing systems. We enumerate factors influencing static complexity, and define a static complexity measure in terms of the processing requirements of parts to be produced and machine capabilities. The measure suggested for static complexity in manufacturing systems needs only the information available from production orders and process plans. The variation...
