Vehicle Health Prognostic and Management
Event date: 22 February 2012
Event end date: 23 February 2012
Location:
Defence Academy of the United Kingdom, Shrivenham
"To avoid a clash with the International PHM Society Conference in Montreal, this event has been postponed from 28-29 September 2011."
For too long the Commander has suffered from equipment that requires unexpected repair and excessive periods of corrective maintenance, usually at the most inappropriate times. Both usage and abusage contribute to the problems, but having some indication of equipment’s health and also of when equipment will require repair or maintenance in the future, would considerably improve the operational effectiveness of equipment at the front line.
The health of military equipment needs to be known where at present there is often no information about is enduring serviceability for the next mission. In the commercial world this situation is rarely tolerated and through the use of Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) and prognostics, decisions can be made which enables the appropriate maintenance to be planned and carried out in the most cost-effective way.
In the defence environment this step forward is yet to be made despite the immediate benefits it could give for availability and enhancements that could be given to maintenance practice and increasing efficiency. Increasing availability within an environment of reducing manpower and support is a promise that is so nearly within our grasp, but is there the commitment to achieve it through Prognostics, CBM and HUMS?
Subjects to be addressed:
HUMS and prognostic developments in the defence environment
HUMS and prognostic developments in the commercial sector
Condition Monitoring techniques and applications
Condition Based Maintenance developments and progress
Maintenance planning and delivery
Developments in prognostic technologies and applications
Exploration of prognostic health management techniques and applications
Research programmes for Prognostics and CBM
