Advanced Methods
in Making Optimal Decisions in Asset Maintenance, Replacement and Reliability
To
Order
The Professional Development Centre within the Faculty of
Applied Science and Engineering at the University of Toronto offers a
Physical Asset Management Certificate Program. Part III of this program,
entitled "Optimizing Maintenance Decisions," involves four days of the
eight-day program. Our CD, Advanced Methods in Making Optimal Decisions
in Asset Maintenance, Replacement and Reliability, consists of
550 PowerPoint slides. It presents key material from these four days,
including the following:
Basic Statistics, Risk Assessment and Economics
-
Analysis of Component Failure Data
-
Probability Density, Reliability and Hazard Functions
-
Weibull Analysis
-
Dealing with Censored Data
-
Aspects of Discounted Cash Flow Used in Capital Equipment Replacement
Analysis
-
Estimating the Interest Rate Appropriate for Discounting
-
Present-Value Calculations
-
The Effects of Inflation in the Analysis
-
Calculating the Equivalent Annual Cost (EAC)
-
Selecting the Best Alternative to Minimize Life Cycle Cost
Optimizing Maintenance and Replacement Decisions
-
Reliability Improvement through Preventative Replacement
-
Case Studies in Establishing Optimal Component Replacement Procedures
-
