Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Qualitative and semi-quantitative reliability and risk analyses are usually performed, using inductive analysis approaches, e.g. FMEA/FMECA (Failure Mode and Effects [Criticality] Analysis), PHA (Preliminary Hazard Analysis) or HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Study). After the identification of possible failure modes or hazards, their possible effects at different system levels are estimated. In several cases the possible effects at higher system levels are very severe, indicating that the system under study is highly unreliable or hazardous. This conclusion, however, can be modified by taking into account the effect of current controls or countermeasures that can reduce the likelihood of an adverse effect or reduce the severity. Condition monitoring provides a useful risk control approach, primarily aiming at reducing the likelihood of an adverse effect. In this paper this risk control approach is described in some more detail and a proposed methodology is described. This methodology combines FMEA and ETA (Event Tree Analysis), with special attention taken to the utilization of Condition Monitoring.

E-maintenance and vulnerability

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Teleservice, utilizing modern information processing and communication tools, is by now a well-known way of supporting a product and we have seen the emergence of e-manufacturing and related types of e-service, in particular e-maintenance. In discussions of the present and future of emanufacturing and e-maintenance systems are among other things risks and vulnerabilities related to utilization of e-services identified as an important area for further research. In this paper the concepts of emaintenance and vulnerability are briefly described. The vulnerability of the e-maintenance system and its consequences for the managed assets are discussed to some extent. From different risk analysis approaches, e.g. related to computer and network security, several methodologies and tools for the management of vulnerability can be identified and an analysis methodology is proposed. The paper represents the view of a risk analyst and reliability engineer.

Maintenance-related IEC dependability standards
- 2006
-
In: Engineering Asset Management. - London : Encyclopedia of Global Archaeology/Springer Verlag. - 1846285836 ; , s. 115-119
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Within the International Electrotechnical Commission, IEC, there exists a committee, named IEC Technical Committee 56 "Dependability", TC56 for short. Its history can be traced back to 1965, when the Reliability and Maintainability Committee was formed. In 1990, after contacts with ISO, it was decided that the IEC/TC56 should be responsible for standardization in the field of dependability, in any appropriate technological area, including those normally considered as outside the scope of IEC. The term "dependability" is a collective term, used to describe availability performance and its constituent factors reliability performance, maintainability performance, and maintenance support performance. Within the IEC/TC56 a number of maintenance related standards and guidelines have been produced, covering e.g. maintainability of equipment, reliability-centred maintenance, integrated logistic support, and also an application guide entitled "Maintenance and maintenance support". Also, Chapter 191 of the International Electrotechnical Vocabulary, freely available on the Internet, contains a wealth of maintenance-related terms. This paper is intended to give an overview of the standards available and some insight into the ongoing efforts within IEC/TC56 to produce new standards and to maintain existing ones. It should not be seen as an official promotion of the IEC Dependability Standards series. Instead, it presents some personal experiences and reflections on the use and usefulness of the standards series.

Total dependability management
- 2003
-
In: Handbook of Reliability Engineering. - London : Encyclopedia of Global Archaeology/Springer Verlag. - 9781852334536 - 9781852338411 ; , s. 559-565
-
Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The authors strongly believe that the system view of dependability management will facilitate organizations to work with dependability matters, since things are "put together to create a whole". Total dependability management builds upon the availability and use of all three management system components: a set of supporting core values, an appropriate methodology, and the skillful use of contextually adapted tools.
