On Going Projects

  1. Supplementary metrics to sustain fleet readiness from a maintenance perspective.

    Key Features:

  • Key Considerations: Maintenance requirements, training, configuration, logistics support, equipment conditions, effectiveness measures
  • Aggregate Nature: One single aggregate metric. Distinction between critical and other factors can be traded off. Metric for use at highest decision level

    Ref: H. Bao, A. Dean, and J. J. Reina, " Identification of supplementary metrics to sustain fleet readiness from a mainteance perspective", 2008 American Society of Naval Engineers , No. 2, pp 81-88

    2.   Economic Model for the maintenance of a device submitted to minor and major  repairs.

    Key Features:

  • Markov Model to optimize mean time to preventive maintenance to maximize availability
  • Two types of failure:

           a) Random failure of device

           b) Deterioration failure

    Ref: H. Bao, D. Jaishankar, "Optimal Preventive Maintenance for a Device submitted to Random and Deteriorating Failures", 2008 IEEE Conference on Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management, Singapore, December 7-11,2008

       3. Failure mode analysis for marine corrosion problems

    Key Features: 

  • Collection of principal types of marine corrosion
  • Develop a software for identifying type of corrosion and source of corrosion

            a) Software will be handy for new engineers

            b) Diagnostic tools facilitated by pictures and pointed questionnaire

    4. Facility Scheduling by Genetic Algorithm.

    Key Features:

  • Objective to maintain a minimum level of availability of the fleet
  • Dockyards as facility
  • Scedule start times of maintenance work for a number of ships from different types of ship classes
  • Each ship has her own maintenance cycle
