Aircraft Maintenance Management

Discuss the concepts of entropy and inherent reliability with respect to two basic types of maintenance. How do these concepts shape a maintenance program? (Give examples)

Entropy measures the disorder in the system quantitatively. Thus, in maintenance there must be some reliability in the uncertainty of the system. Although there are four types of strategies of the maintenance, these are preventive, condition-based, risk-based and corrective maintenance. Considering two types of maintenance, one is condition-based and other is risk-based maintenance. Risk-based maintenance carries out by integrating measurement, periodic test and analysis activities to typical preventive maintenance. The aim and ...
