Abstract:
Technological advances in equipment and the increase in process automation has led to the maintenance function having a role in business competitiveness. The contribution of preventive maintenance is discussed, as an important part of this function, with some emphasis on methods for planning replacement, in the sense of time interval of preventive maintenance. The classical optimization approach is used to illustrate the original preventive maintenance problem, thereby enabling insights and discussion of the main features that require the use of MCDM/A approaches for these decisions, and thus considering the multidimensional consequence space. A structured framework to build a multicriteria decision model for supporting the selection of time interval is presented. Two different MCDM/A methods are applied depending on the decision maker’s (DM) preferences. The first illustrates the application of Multi-attribute Utility Theory (MAUT) as an example of compensatory method and; the second details the application of a non-compensatory PROMETHEE method, which considers outranking relations.
