Q

Definition of Product-Service (PS)

A

A mix of tangible products and intangible service designed and combined so that they are jointly capable of fulfilling final customer needs.
NB: This concerns only the offer to a client.

“Product Service Systems put simply, are when a firm offers a mix of both products and services, in comparison to the traditional focus on products”

Q

Result-oriented PSS

A

Selling the result or capability instead of a product

The producer maintains ownership of the product and the customer pays only for the provision of agreed results

Eg. Zipcar provided a fleet of cars strategically located around the city. Users access the cars with a smart card, paid for in advance. They can either pay a fixed hourly fee or a membership programme that bills for actual use.

29
Q

Explain HAZOP (Hazard & Operability Study)

A

It’s a systematic method for identifying:

  • Potential hazards
  • Operability deviations within the system and specifying the means by which either the probability of their occurrence can be reduced or the consequences of undesirable incidents can be minimised
30
Q

Explain FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect analysis)

A

FMEAs evaluate the ways equipment can fail or be improperly operated and the effect these failures can have.
In a FMEA, each individual failure is considered as an independent occurrence with no relation to other failures in the system

In short, FMEA identify single failure modes that either directly results or contribute significantly to an accident

43
Q

Explain the Concept of Dependability

A

A collective term used to describe the availability performance and its influencing factors; reliability, performance, maintainability performance and maintenance support and performance.

See picture

44
Q

Explain reliability (Dependability)

A

Reliability is the ability of an item to perform a required function under given conditions for a given time interval.

Reliability may also be defined as a probability that equipment will perform its intended function without failure for a specific time under defined conditions

45
Q

Explain Maintainability (Dependability)

A

Is the ability of an item under given conditions of use, to be retained in or restored to, a state in which it can perform a required function when maintenance is performed under given conditions and using stated procedures and resources.

46
Q

Explain Maintainace supporatbility (Dependability)

A

To ability to have the right maintenance support at the necessary place to perform the required, maintenance activity at a given instant of time or during a given time interval.

Maintenance support is the resources, service and management to perform a maintenance action

47
Q

Explain inherent reliability

A

The inherent reliability of a plant, system or device is the maximum achievable reliability based on configuration and component selection. If operated correctly, maintained correctly and inspected on appropriate intervals, it will be possible to attain the full inherent reliability. If poorly operated, poorly maintained or allowed to develop and retain defects, the reliability can be significantly less than the inherent reliabilty.

48
Q

Explain relibabilty management process and the maintenance excellence process

A

The reliability management process and the maintenance excellence process go hand in hand.

If maintenance work management processes are not done in a manner that restores the inherent reliability, the reliability performance will continually degrade.

If the reliability process is not working to provide an acceptable level of reliability, the maintenance processes will end up “chasing-their-tail”, dealing with too-frequent and unexpected breakdowns.

49
Q

Explain the Path of Failure

A

The value of understanding the path of failure is knowing that both the failure mechanism and the defect can be discovered before failure and that the failure can be prevented. Wise people also learn from failures, and they identify the three levels of cause in time to take corrective action

50
Q

Predictive Maintenance tasks are intended to?

A
  1. Evaluate failure mechanisms that are known to be at work

2. Identify failure mechanism that can be at work

51
Q

What’s the aim of failure analysis?

A

Find, assess, reduce and elimate both causes and effects of failure.

52
Q

Explain Infant mortality failure period

A

In its early life, an item population exhibits a high failure rate, due mainly to manufacturing weaknesses including; Poor joints & connections, damaged components, chemical impurities, dirt and contamination, assembly errors
