Course Goals and Objectives
The students will learn different maintenance systems, and concepts of reliability in depth and breadth
to implement maintenance policy in industry
This course will expose the students about mathematical techniques used in maintenance for planning
the breakdown, availability and scheduling the maintenance actions
Replacement studies, Replacement planning, carry out schedule maintenance work with the consideration
of planning and control for maintenance material, replacement in anticipation of failure will be discussed.
Use of computer to assist maintenance, scheduling broke down machines for optimal down time loss and
case studies will be discussed for in depth understanding of the subject. The knowledge and skills
necessary to pursue professional careers in mechanical engineering arena.
