Development of an integrated service management system for marine facilities based on analysis of their actual condition as per performance monitoring parameters
The main purpose of a life cycle management system during service phase of marine vessels is to support their efficient maintenance to keep up vessel's technical and economic performance, reliability and safety. A key part of the life-cycle management is the integrated service management system intended to ensure that maintenance services are provided on a timely basis at minimum cost. The paper suggests that the integrated service management system should be shaped by analyzing a large amount of diagnostic data that can be supplied by dedicated performance monitoring of individual equipment as well as special-purpose in-situ diagnostic systems. Methods for analysing diagnostic data and working out efficient decisions in the service management of marine vessels are proposed. Development of the proposed integrated service management system would ensure the required technical availability of marine vessels at reduced costs.
