Task 1: As a maintenance manager at a plant, you are required to update the existing maintenance plan for on of the critical plant's systems. This entails defining economical and technically practical maintenance interventions while considering a high level of safety. What are the potential approaches for maintenance interventions that could be included in the curren maintenance plan? Provide definitions for each of them, outline their advantages and disadvantages, and support them with real-life examples. State two potential maintenance decision-making strategies you could adopt and clarify their steps and logic of implementation. Introduce and explain the concept of Prognostics and Health Management (PHM). Describe what PHM entails, as well as its benefits and expectations. Explain how the frequency of planned maintenance interventions can impact production and costs for a specific component. Clarify the process for selecting the best maintenance intervention approach for that component using the selected maintenance decision-making strategy. Create a thorough and cost-effective guideline for determining the optimal replacement age for the component.

A factory production department consists of a large number of work cells. Each cell consists of one human worker performing electronics assembly tasks. The cells are organized into sections within the department, and one foreman supervises each section. It is desired to know how many work cells should be assigned to each foreman. The foreman’s job consists of two tasks: (1) provide each cell with a sufficient supply of parts that it can work for 4 h before it needs to be resupplied and (2) prepare production reports for each work cell. Task (1) takes 18 min on average per work cell and must be done twice per day. The foreman must schedule the resupply of parts to every cell so that no idle time occurs in any cell. Task (2) takes 9 min per work cell and must be done once per day. Neither the workers nor the foreman are allowed to work more than 8 h/day. Each day, the cells continue production from where they stopped the day before. (a) What is the maximum number of work cells that…
