Analysis of the Possibility of Applying the Maintenance System based on Reliability by Comparative Appreciation of the Braking Installation

Analysing the current maintenance system, one can obviously notice a disadvantage to be found in all the cases in which the maintenance activities prove useless, not resulting in finding the flaws or the conditions leading to them, the verified equipment being declared as functioning well. Thus, it becomes indispensable that a rapid and efficient strategy should be implemented for the diagnosis of the component parts of the vehicles, the maintenance based on reliability respectively, which constantly monitors the evolution of parameters so that the permanent state of the vehicle is made known, as well as the necessary maintenance activities. As such, the maintenance based on reliability promotes an efficient policy of the maintenance activities throughout the period of using the vehicle, all the expenses being offset by reducing the maintenance costs through the decrease of the immobilisation time and the number of repair operations. The paper deals with a new approach of the aspects related to the maintenance system of vehicles, relying on mathematical statistics which allows for modelling the strategies likely to be applied within the system. The results of a mathematical approach should not be neglected since the future strategies of managing the maintenance processes of the technical systems cannot be based on simple empirical reasoning, which has most often proved costly.
