Innovative Maintenance Model: Methodology of Decision Making and Global Economic Cost – Based Choice Using Fuzzy Logic Concepts

Abstract

Method: The expert system utilizes the Matlab platform, using its proprietary Fuzzy Logic Toolbox. The inputs to the expert system are the different situations related to cost variables to and the implementation of one of the maintenance optimizing solutions pertaining to the Live Work-Redundancy-Simultaneity-Security model as defined by the maintenance unit during a the global life cycle of the equipment. The output of the system indicates the economic feasibility and benefit of the solution to be adopted of for our Maintenance model. Application of the expert system methodology is shown as a simulation.
