Level of repair analysis (LORA) determines (1) the best decision during a malfunction of each product component; (2) the location in the repair network to perform the decision and (3) the quantity of required resources in each facility. Capital goods have long life cycles and their total life cycle costs are extremely high. LORA, which can be done repeatedly during the life cycle of the product, both at design and product support phase, plays an important role in minimising the total life cycle costs of capital goods. It is mostly applied to systems that operate in different geographical areas and deployed in different regions, which include different subsystems with special technology and expertise, and have a complex product structure. In this study, we propose a new mathematical model to the LORA problem, which is more comprehensive and flexible than the other pure LORA models in the literature. The proposed model uses the multiple upstream approach that allows the transfer of the components from a location in the lower echelon to the predefined locations in the upper echelon and determines the material movement paths between each facility, defining the facilities' locations in the repair network. The performance of the proposed model is tested on benchmark instances and the results are compared with the single upstream model. Computational experiments show that the proposed model is more effective than the single upstream model and reduces the total life cycle costs by 4.85% on average, which is an enormous cost saving when total life cycle costs of capital goods are considered.

A Multi-Objective Mathematical Model for Level of Repair Analysis with Lead Times and Multi-Transportation Modes Bicakci, Ismail; İÇ, YUSUF TANSEL; Karasakal, Esra; DENGİZ, BERNA (2022-01-01) In the event of failure of the product, level of repair analysis (LORA) is used to determine (1) whether the defective component should be discarded or repaired and (2) where this repair is made. In the literature, these repair operations are made with the aim of minimizing the total life cycle cost of the product. In this paper, we develop a multi-objective decision model that minimizes both the repair time (affected by lead times) and the repair costs. Our proposed model also considers the movement of the...
A Performance analysis of different types of liquid lubricants in weighted and unweighted water based drilling fluid by differential sticking tester parallel with lubricity tester Anadut, Mehmet Uğur; Parlaktuna, Mahmut; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2015) Differential sticking is among the most important factor that could affect the well cost and the drilling efficiency. It occurs at the presence of overbalance pressure between mud column of the well and permeable formation. In this circumstance, the differential pressure acting on a drill string makes the drill string to stick on the well bore. Especially in directional and extended-reach wells drilling, high torque, drag and differential sticking become increasingly important issues compared to the vertica...
A Multicriteria Method to Form Optional Preventive Maintenance Plans: A Case Study of a Large Fleet of Vehicles Guner, Gurkan Guven; Sakar, Ceren Tuncer; Yet, Barbaros (2021-01-01) IEEEMotor vehicles are composed of a large number of parts, and planning the maintenance activities of different parts is a crucial decision that affects system reliability, operation costs, and capacity requirements of service providers. We propose a systematic method to determine the critical parts that should be handled with extra preventive maintenance (PM) and prepare alternative PM plans with different levels of cost and capacity usage. Our method uses a multicriteria decision-making approach to deter...
A new contact & slip model for tracked vehicle transient dynamics on hard ground Ozdemir, Mehmet Nuri; Kilic, Varlik; Ünlüsoy, Yavuz Samim (2017-10-01) This study presents a new general transient contact and slip model for tracked vehicles on hard ground which is simple, accurate, and in agreement with the test results to a satisfactory level. Simulating zero track speed instances become possible with the new contact/shear model which is the major proposed improvement in addition to more accurate results for transient steering and tractive inputs. The model represents a general tracked vehicle having rear or front sprockets, with parameters for center of g...
A Stray Magnetic Flux-Based Robust Diagnosis Method for Detection and Location of Interturn Short Circuit Fault in PMSM Gurusamy, Vigneshwaran; Bostancı, Emine; Li, Chen; Qi, Yuan; Akin, Bilal (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2021-01-01) © 1963-2012 IEEE.Early diagnosis of interturn short circuit (ITSC) fault is essential to prevent catastrophic electrical machine failures. Along with the detection, locating the faulty winding at its incipient stage is also critical to reduce the outage duration and operation losses. This article proposes a practical method to detect the ITSC fault and locate the faulty winding in permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) through stray magnetic flux monitoring. It is shown that relying on the fundamental ...
