In the thesis an innovative on-board maintenance management system (MMS) of
mobile systems has been developed, which allows a condition based
maintenance. The comprehensive system approach considers the technical,
economic and user-specific requirements of the maintenance of mobile
systems.
In order to realize the technical requirements methods of diagnosis,
condition monitoring and usage prediction, which are integrated in the
component layer of the on-board MMS, are used. The following scheduling
layer allows a computer-based scheduling based on the actual maintenance
demands as well as the economic and user-specific requirements. The
scheduling component is a decision and scheduling system, and co-ordinates
the maintenance of the mobile system according to defined rules and
instructions.
Communication with the driver, the workshop or the service headquarters
occurs through integrated on-/off-board interfaces. With these interfaces
different maintenance services and functions can be offered.
By means of concrete application examples the single components of the
maintenance management system are displayed. In life-cycle simulations the
influence of the developed scheduling component as well as the economic and
technical advantages are presented.
