... to large scale industries through overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). Findings – Researchers evolutes a new maintenance concept of TPM implementation practice as mobile maintenance concept in SMEs for enhancing OEE of equipments to improve competitiveness of SMEs in a globalized market...

...Subhash Mathew; Damian Kennedy Random shocks are a leading cause of equipment failure. The shocks arise because of large variations in parameters like operating load, voltage, pressure, thermal load, hardness, contamination, tolerances on clearances and alignments, among other factors. Frequent...

...K.B Bahrami‐G.; J.W.H. Price; J. Mathew The subject of investigation reported in this paper is the determination of an optimal replacement time for equipment that deteriorates with time. The following hypothesis is proposed and investigated. While a piece of equipment is in the final stages of its...

...Huei‐Yaw Ke; Fu‐Fan Shen With the merit of Bayes’ theorem, this paper proposes an integrated Bayesian approach for reliability assessment during equipment development. By considering the prior information, this approach can provide useful information to use for decision‐making. A numerical example...

... distributed, and thus reorders observations by magnitude, is not valid. The latter encompasses any lifetime distribution modelling technique, such as the very frequently used Weibull. Equipment Machinery Maintenance Obsolescence Reliability Replacement The majority of the components/systems...
