... description and classification of performance killers and drivers, and of indicators for VDM are presented in this paper. Design/methodology/approach Review of literature for technical terminology and review of standards for identification of indicators for maintenance performance measurement and NPV...

... description and operationalization using case examples. The scope of the paper is limited to performance measurement of maintenance strategies. Findings It is found that the framework is applicable and useful for the strategic management of the maintenance function. The case example depicting the fourth...

...Basim Al‐Najjar Relevant and reliable data from the surroundings in addition to the vibration measurements are required to achieve effective diagnosis and prognosis when a vibration‐based maintenance (VBM) policy is used. The main conclusion is that the variation in the machine load and speeds...

...U. Dinesh Kumar Discusses two measures, namely, maintenance free operating period (MFOP) and failure free operating period (FFOP) that are seen as the future reliability and maintenance measures. The concept of MFOP is a new reliability metric driven by the Ministry of Defence, UK, which...

...Richard Dwight Performance measurement remains a complex issue. This is particularly so if some absolute measure of performance is sought. A definition of performance in terms of value is restated and further developed. Reacting to this strict definition, the systems audit approach to measuring...

... of the software system during the operation phase is described by a Markov process. Several stochastic quantities for software availability measurement are derived from this model. Finally, numerical examples are shown to illustrate software availability analyses. © MCB UP Limited 1998 Computer...

... has to be ensured. © MCB UP Limited 1998 Maintenance Measurement Performance indicators Geraerds[ 2 ] defines maintenances as: The total of activities serving the purpose of retaining the production units in or restoring them to the state considered necessary for fulfillment...

...A. Raouf; M. Ben‐Daya Discusses a systematic approach to total maintenance management. Presents a methodology suitable for measuring the current effectiveness of the maintenance system and identifying areas of potential improvement. For situations in which improvement rate becomes insignificant...
