This work is aimed at establishing a common frame and understanding of function modeling (FM) for our ongoing research activities. A comparative review of the literature is performed to grasp the various FM approaches with their commonalities and differences. The relations of FM with the research fields of artificial intelligence, design theory,...

Project complexities might deliver a contribution to failure of projects in reaching the project goals. Research towards project complexities has been done in engineering projects, but not in maintenance projects. There is a difference in maintenance projects and engineering projects. For that reason one cannot assume that the comparable results...

This report discusses the process that was used to redesign the service of routine infra maintenance. New governmental demands have led to new contract demands for infrastructure contracts. These new contracts require a new approach to infrastructure maintenance. Contractor bid's are no longer selected on a base of price only, but EMVI ...

Summary Part I - Optimization of the maintenance scheduling Resource management in the industry is an important feature to make the most of the production, particularly in maintenance field where the availability of people is a very important condition to minimize losses. An optimized maintenance scheduling is of a crucial importance for wind...

Declining production, continuously rising cost levels, low oil prices and the subsequent declining reserves, are forcing the oil and gas industry to reduce its operating expenditures. This study focuses on how the best maintenance policies for the power generation on unmanned satellite gas platforms of Total Exploration and Production...

Lion, W.F. (author)
This thesis investigates the opportunity to use the massive amounts of data coming from modern aircraft to predict maintenance tasks. The goal is to predict defects in such a fashion as to prevent the actual failure from occurring. This results in fewer delays and less maintenance costs. The aircraft data, ACMS data, is analysed using three...

Background: Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an established microbial platform for production of native and non-native compounds. When product pathways compete with growth for precursors and energy, uncoupling of growth and product formation could increase product yields and decrease formation of biomass as a by-product. Studying non-growing,...

Conventional offshore wind turbines tend to be difficult to maintain. Maintenance contributes to 25% of the total cost of energy and forms an important phase in the lifecycle of the turbine and has a significant impact on its sustainability. The design resulted from this master thesis is a nacelle for the DOT wind turbine. It creates a working...

Planned obsolescence is generally considered as a negative business strategy that induces replacement needs and affects attachment dynamics, as opposed to the goal of elongating product lifetime. At the present, however, an early replacement of long-lasting products is preferred in at least two cases which can be addressed during the design...

Outage scheduling for maintenance in asset management of electrical transmission and distribution system plays an important role in power system reliability. For instance, failure probability of transmission line may change from time to time due to exogenous conditions. Impact of failure or service interruption can be described by using...

This research aims to develop a maintenance strategy for large offshore DOT wind farms to reduce the costs for O&M. The strategy consists of a logistical solution in the form of a stock keeping scenario and a mechanism to exchange parts of the drive train. Requirements for the maintenance strategy is to be innovative, in order to stand out...

During infrastructure maintenance possessions, commonly not all trains can operate, and the original timetable may have to be adjusted accordingly. To deliver the best service to passengers, operators have to coordinate adjustment measures dealing with multiple possessions at the network level. In this paper, we consider the Train Timetable...

Shortages of medical equipment in low-and-middle income countries (LMICs) have been found by several previous studies that assessed surgical capacity. To increase surgical capacity, there is a need to identify the availability of specific types of surgical equipment on a local, regional and national level. A survey was conducted among surgeons...
