IS4002 Maintainability Engineering Syllabus:
IS4002 Maintainability Engineering Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021
OBJECTIVES:
To enable the students know about the basic concept of maintainability engineering.
To impart knowledge on various maintenance models, maintenance policies and replacement model of various equipment.
To provide knowledge on logistics for the effective utilization of existing resources and facilities availability of spares parts.
UNIT I MAINTENANCE CONCEPT
Maintenance definition – Need for maintenance – Maintenance objectives and challenges – Tero technology – Maintenance costs – Scope of maintenance department.
UNIT II MAINTENANCE MODELS
Proactive/Reactive maintenance – Imperfect maintenance – Maintenance policies – PM versus b/d maintenance – PM schedule and product characteristics – Inspection models-Optimizing profit/downtime – Replacement decisions.
UNIT III MAINTENANCE LOGISTICS
Human factors – Maintenance staffing: Learning curves – Simulation – Maintenance resource requirements: Optimal size of service facility – Optimal repair effort – Maintenance planning and scheduling – Spare parts planning.
UNIT IV MAINTENANCE QUALITY
Maintenance excellence – Five Zero concept –FMECA –Root cause analysis – System effectiveness – Design for maintainability – Reliability Centered Maintenance.
UNIT V TOTAL PRODUCTIVE MAINTENANCE
TPM features – Chronic and sporadic losses – Equipment defects – Six major losses – Overall Equipment Effectiveness – TPM pillars – Autonomous maintenance – TPM implementation
TOTAL: 45 PERIODS
OUTCOMES:
The students will be able to
1. Understand the various terms and terminologies about the maintenance concept.
2. Understand the various maintenance modes and logistics meant for the execution of various services.
3. Apply their knowledge in areas where the down time, over replacement are existing and could lead to improve the productivity and quality.
