Abstract:
This chapter presents multicriteria (MCDM/A) models to classify and assign maintenance priorities in order to allow maintenance planning to be more effective. From traditional maintenance planning techniques such as RCM (Reliability Centered Maintenance), TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) and others, a common aspect of these techniques is the definition of maintenance priorities, based on a criticality classification for RCM, for example. As maintenance planning has to satisfy multiple objectives, such as availability, maintainability, detectability, safety and reliability besides cost, the maintenance manager is a decision maker (DM) who has to establish tradeoff amongst multiple criteria. This chapter presents an MCDM/A model integrated with the RCM structure using Utility Theory principles to include states of nature and the DM’s behavior to risk (prone, neutral and averse) in a decision model based on Multi-attribute utility theory (MAUT). To illustrate situations when a DM has a non-compensatory rationality, and requires an outranking method, a decision model based on ELECTRE TRI is applied. In addition, TPM aspects are discussed in order to emphasize potential MCDM/A problems that may be approached.
