A fleet of independently operating systems and a single maintenance unit axe considered. It is the objective in this paper to increase overall performance or workload respectively by avoiding delay due to busy maintenance units. This is achieved by concerted and coordinated derating of individual system performance, which increases reliability. Quantification is carried out by way of a convolution-based approach. The approach is tailored to fleets of ships, aeroplanes, spacecraft, and vehicles （trains, trams, buses, cars, trucks, etc.） - Finally, the effectiveness of derating is validated using different criteria. The RAS concept makes sense if average system output loss due to lowered performance level （yielding longer time to failure） is smaller than average loss due to waiting for maintenance in a non-adaptive case.展开更多

The contribution presents an approach which applies a reliability-adaptive operating strategy in combination with tool derating. It is the objective to hold the system harmonisation of tool changes as maintenance actions. The significant effectiveness of the approach is demonstrated by different configurations and contexts. The output-time function of a TL without reliability-adaptive control is compared with functions of a system with reliability-adaptive control.展开更多
