Course content

Module:

Specialization in safety, reliability and maintenance.

Theme:

- Maintenance management.

- Age, block and minimal maintenance strategies.

- Optimizing the interval and level of intervention in models for condition control.

- Grouping of maintenance tasks, and optimization of strategies for grouping.

- Carrying out maintenance where possible.

- Use of numerical methods.

Learning outcome

Knowledge:

The student has basic insight into the theoretical basis and practical applications of maintenance optimization. The theoretical basis shall form a basis for the development of new models and methods within maintenance optimisation.

Skills:

The student

• can recognize a number of standard situations for such optimization
• can develop good reasoning for more complicated situations where maintenance optimization is used
• can solve specific optimization problems.General competence:

The student understands maintenance as an important element in industrial and commercial systems and in public administration.

Learning methods and activities

The subject is carried out in two sessions, three + two days of lectures, group work and discussions. Great emphasis is placed on discussions and the transfer of experience between the participants.

Between the two collections there are self-studies with reading syllabus, assignments and guidance via the internet. In the lectures, computers are used to solve math problems.

Students must bring their own PC/Mac with MS Excel. The training program is also largely based on the students solving tasks on the computer.

The course is part of NTNU's further education offer, and has a course fee. See NTNU Videres hjemmesider
