Smart Operations and Maintenance (IAM510)

Content

This course covers operations and maintenance management in the Industry 4.0 era where a new set of principles and technologies have enabled and revolutionized the classical operations and maintenance field. Throughout the course, we will explore various facets, including:

• Operations & Maintenance Management Fundamentals
• Operations strategy capacity planning, and manning philosophies
• Operations & Maintenance Planning and Scheduling
• Spare Parts and Inventory Management
• Operations and Maintenance Logistics Management
• Industry 4.0 Technologies and Smart Operations & maintenance Management
• Maintenance Strategies, Philosophies and Techniques
• Reliability-Availability-Maintainability (RAM) Analysis.
• Managing Risk-based Maintenance Program, strategies, plans and procedures
• Life Cycle Costing and Lifetime Benefit Analysis.
• Maintenance management systems as a tool for smart operations
• Engineering for Risk-based Maintenance Program: Technical hierarchy, Consequence classification, Maintenance and test concept selection, Failure mode and effect analysis, Manning study, Spare parts evaluation, and Safety integrity studies.
• Continuous improvement & optimization of maintenance performance
• Sustainability in Operations and Maintenance management, trends, and future directions

Learning outcome

By completing this course, the students shall gain the following knowledge, skills and competencies:

Knowledge

• Gain a comprehensive understanding of risk-based maintenance and model-based maintenance engineering, and its four elements: requirements, functional, physical, and parametric elements.
• Gain a comprehensive understanding of the well-known project execution model used in the industry, and its project stages and decision gates.
• Gain a theoretical and practical understanding of Maintenance Engineering methods: technical hierarchy, functional hierarchy, consequence classification, failure mode analysis, system reliability, availability and maintainability evaluation, maintenance task selection, manning study, and spare parts evaluation.
• Gain a theoretical and practical understanding of capital expenditures (CAPEX), operating expenditures (OPEX), Lifecycle costing (LCC), and potential lifetime benefits (LTB).
• Gain a theoretical and practical understanding of Strategic Maintenance Planning and Digital\Cloud maintenance management systems

Skills

• Be able to build a model-based maintenance and test concept, covering its four elements: requirements, functional, physical, and parametric elements.
• Be able to apply the project execution model considering the project stages and decision gates.
