Typically Korea Railroad is executing the limited inspection and general inspection about passenger car by mileage and the time elapsed.(ex. one year, two years) These types of inspection system continue from the beginning of the railroad operation of the steam locomotive age to present. According to the rolling stocks modernized and improved, mileage and the time elapsed for periodical inspection has been expanded but the basic maintainability system of rolling stocks is not that different from the past. This fact needs verification that modern inspection method is right from various fields. In this paper, we analyze the data that we get the maintenance record from Korea railroad company about periodical inspection and failure. Next to considering the correlation of periodical inspection with failure based on analyzed data for watching periodical inspection effects. And we desire to need efficient rolling stock maintenance system better than fixed periodical inspection.

Turbine journal bearings are designed to support the weight of the rotors on a hydrodynamic oil film and to provide dynamic stability to the rotor system. The life time of journal bearings is infinite theoretically because the journal bearings are separated from the shaft journal by oil film. But poor design, assembly, operation and maintenance can cause problems to the journal bearings. The FMEA(Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) results of the journal bearings show that frequent maintenance of the journal bearings can cause failures and reduction of the bearing life. Therefore, the maintenance periods and history of the journal bearings with the bearing FMEA results are reviewed in order to establish the optimized maintenance period of the journal bearing for the nuclear power plants. Consequently it is necessary to maintain a best condition of lubrication system, reject time-based maintenance and perform the condition-based maintenance of journal bearings in order to maintain optimum condition of the journal bearing.

A method of failure data management for Reliability-Centered Maintenance was shown for a boiler feedwater pump of a power plant. The major part of it is an analysis of failure mode, failure cause, and failure effects, which is the main component of a failure data base like OREDA(Offshore Reliability Data). Case study shows main element of the preventive maintenance planning such as the maintenance period can be statistically determined from the failure data.

Rolling stock needs many maintenance works because of its long service life. The maintenance of rolling stock has periodic preventive maintenance system. This periodic preventive maintenance system can't reflect the characteristics of every part. The condition-based maintenance system which reflects the functional condition of every part prevents breakdown and reduces maintenance cost. This study will analyze the records of every part by unreasonable examples of time-based preventive maintenance and reliability management activities, and discuss the necessity of maintenance system reflected the results.

For missile systems, sustaining high reliability and ensuring economical maintenance are very important. In the Republic of Korea, for most missiles, periodic inspection is mandatory for missiles in the field. Every fixed number of years, they are returned to the ordnance depot to be tested and repaired if faults are found. Almost all missiles have a built-in test (BIT) capability. With the BIT, faulty missiles can be isolated anytime during operations or storage in the launchers. So the reliability and the maintenance costs of the missiles greatly depend on the length of the inspection cycle and the BIT/inspection quality. In this paper, we suggest a model for predicting the storage reliability of missiles subjected to non-periodic tests and periodic inspections, excluding overlapping failures. Some numerical examples are given. This model will be useful for determining the length of the periodic inspection cycle.

Life cycle costing is one of the most effective approaches for the cost analysis of long-life products such as the railroad vehicle. Life cycle costing includes the cost of concept design, development, manufacture, operation, maintenance and disposal. Especially, life cycle costing in the railroad industry has been focused on the maintenance cost. In this paper, the standard, guide and maintenance information of railroad vehicle were investigated, and the unique corrective and preventive maintenance templates of railroad vehicle were proposed. Maintenance cost of an auxiliary power supply system of EMU was predicted by using the proposed templates. The results show that the preventive maintenance, PM, cost is much higher compare to corrective maintenance, CM, cost because of daily and monthly maintenance tasks which require lots of labor work. It is expected that these templates can help railroad operators make maintenance strategies with consideration of the cost parameter.

Recently, the need for improving the economical efficiency of pumped-storage power plants has increased because of the decrease in the availability of electricity caused by an increase in the consumption of electricity at night. Therefore, a preventative maintenance cycle, especially an overhaul cycle, is required. Unconditional extension cannot be implemented because it may cause unanticipated failures due to insufficient maintenance. Therefore, in this study, a methodology for optimizing the preventative maintenance cycle by taking into account both reliability and economical efficiency is presented; this methodology has been developed by reviewing previous studies on reliability and considering the characteristics of pumped-storage power plants. Finally, an extended overhaul cycle is derived by applying this methodology to a domestic pumped-storage power plant.

The safety of staff, customers and of general Public in general viewed as one of the most important requirements in the urban transit. The maintenance computerization system for car of urban transit is a part of standardization and development of urban transit system, and We have been performed the establishment of maintenance computerization system from 2001 to 2005. The RAMS (reliability, availability, maintainability and safety) estimation for maintenance computerization system are utilized in a variety of computerization system for user's convenience and safety in maintenance. Ever since its inception though, the urban transit has searched for ways to improve reliability, availability, maintainability and safety of the railway subsystem. Provision of a reliable maintenance system include RAMS of the vehicles plays a very important role in achieving a safe system.

Re-coating of the mirror is one of the important things to maintain the performance of a telescope. The metal coated on the mirror reflects light, and if the reflectance decreases, then the telescope's performance decreases, so the mirror must be periodically recoated. It is important to predict re-coating cycles for military telescopes and to develop maintenance plans not only for performance, but also for the telescope's availability for missions and the maintenance costs for long-term use. However, most similar telescopes used for astronomy research determine recoating cycles based on experience and operating conditions, and not for prediction of recoating. Therefore, this study predicts the cleaning cycles and re-coating cycles of a military telescope's mirror by using simulation. First, this study analyzed similar cases of domestic and foreign astronomy research institutes and the study also reviewed the need for re-coating and predicting re-coating cycles. Second, this study developed simulation for predicting cleaning and re-coating cycles according to data analysis and modeling. Finally, the study predicts cleaning cycles and re-coating cycles according to varying reflectance reduction (5%, 10%, 15%, 20%) and cleaning conditions (per 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years). As a result, this study suggests reference criteria to develop the planning for military telescopes and their maintenance.
