Learning Goals
The fundamental goal of this course unit is to introduce the concepts and essential tools enabling the establishment of an effective industrial maintenance management integrated within the operations of an organization. Thus this course unit should enable students to:
- Understand the importance of an efficient maintenance management in the availability, productivity and consequent competitiveness of an organization;
- Diagnose the types of component failures and devise procedures conducing to the determination of the corresponding root causes and consequences;
- Estimate and budget the costs of materials and maintenance and safety services;
- Plan and control the execution of maintenance and safety operations;
- Define methodologies supporting and optimising preventive or corrective maintenance decisions, in a perspective of continuous improvement;
- Establish industrial maintenance plans optimising the cost-service trade-off level.

Contents
1. Concepts and systems of industrial maintenance
Corrective and preventive maintenance, global efficiency indexes, TPC, RCM, condition based maintenance.
2. Failure analysis methodologies
Introduction to the physical phenomena of degradation and breakdown. Logics and cause-effect relations in fault analysis and the development of cause-effect diagrams (Ishikawa, 5 whys), RCA, FTA, FMEA.
3. Reliability based maintenance
Systems reliability, dependent and common cause failures. Probabilistic models. FMECA, design of experiments.
4. Maintenance planning and control
Business competitiveness centred maintenance. Project planning and control methodologies (PERT and CPM), inventory management, estimation and budgeting of maintenance costs.
5. Establishment of maintenance plans
Maintenance decisions optimisation strategies, optimal replacement intervals, minimisation of operation cost, maximization of the availability. Software supporting maintenance management.

Teaching Methods
The course will be taught in weekly theoretical and practical classes. In these classes concepts will be presented, and the methods and resolution of exercises applied to industrial management and maintenance explained. In addition, practical cases will be discussed.
The scheme of continuous evaluation is composed by two written tests, including all taught topics, one at the middle of the semester and another at the end of semester, and a group work comprising the development of an industrial maintenance plan.
The final exam is composed by an only written text, which includes all topics taught, and an individual work about an industrial maintenance problem.
In the scheme of continuous evaluation the final grade is weighted as follows: 20% the work about the development of a maintenance plan + 30% 1st written test + 50% 2nd written text. The final grade in the final exam evaluation scheme is obtained by: 20% the work about the development of a maintenance plan + 80% 2nd written text.
