An Application of Time Classification in the System Maintenance Allocation

Abstract:

The aim of the maintenance allocation is to allocate the maintenance time of the subsystems reasonably and accurately. Traditional MTTR (mean time to repair) allocation methods are most often based on the products’ complexity. However, there are a lot of deficiencies in practical application. To allocate the system MTTR of the subsystems more precise and reasonable, a better model is needed. The aim of this paper is to develop an improved model to allocate the maintenance time, as well as picke out the common maintenance time and allocating e the MTTR in the subsystems more accurately.
