Other Risk, Reliability and Maintenance Decision Problems

  • Chapter
Multicriteria and Multiobjective Models for Risk, Reliability and Maintenance Decision Analysis

Part of the book series: International Series in Operations Research & Management Science ((ISOR,volume 231))

Abstract:

In this chapter, specific problems in risk, reliability and maintenance context are described, such as location of backup units, sequencing of maintenance activities, natural disasters, operation planning of a power system network, integrated production and maintenance scheduling, maintenance team sizing and reliability acceptance tests. This chapter presents a multicriteria decision model with an illustrative application for most of these problems. Amongst the MCDM/A approaches considered for the illustrative applications in this chapter are: Multi-attribute utility theory (MAUT), PROMETHEE II, NSGA-II. Regarding the reliability acceptance test an MCDM/A Bayesian approach is presented. For these problems, several aspects have been considered such as: size of population, degree of industrialization, the extent of health services (location of backup units); degree of damage, consumption, electric load, special clients, healthcare services, SAIDI and SAIFI (sequencing of maintenance activities); human, environmental, financial and infrastructure concerns (natural disasters); expected tardiness and maintenance costs (integrated production and maintenance scheduling); waiting time and cost of personnel (maintenance team sizing); probability of accepting equipment not in accordance with the reliability specified by the manufacturer; and delaying the project conclusion (reliability acceptance test). Finally, some aspects of multiobjective optimization are discussed.
