ABSTRACT
Maintenance records can be used for activities such as energy efficiency analysis, energy centered maintenance inspections, preventive maintenance tasking, predictive maintenance tasking, frequency planning, and life cycle analysis. The frequency of energy centered maintenance inspections could vary based on different parameters such as: The more frequent the maintenance inspections take place, the higher the cost but, the greater chances of maintaining equipment efficiency. A balance between energy centered maintenance inspection, frequency, cost, and equipment efficiency should be assessed while defining the optimum Energy Centered Maintenance (ECM) frequency. Energy centered maintenance is related to this kind of failures, ECM is focused on the efficiency of the equipment while it is working, therefore calculating specific frequencies to conduct ECM inspections are critical for cost effectiveness. Energy centered maintenance model is a proactive model that focuses on preventive and predictive maintenance types rather than reactive maintenance.
