Deliverables

The MOSys project aimed to enhance the operational reliability and availability of ship plant systems by developing techniques to: -Forecast and enhance ship machinery systems’ reliability and safety through the application of Reliability, Availability and Maintainability (RAM) and Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM) analyses. This development was primarily targeted at ship design. -Improve ship availability by supporting reliability-based maintenance and condition monitoring and also advanced operational Survey, Inspection and Repair (SIR) planning during the dry-docking process with target application by ship repair yards, classification societies and ship operators. -Enhance technical integrity and availability of ship machinery systems through use of design, operational and RAM data, and data analysis routines in support of the life cycle Technical Asset Integrity Management (TAIM). This development was primarily targeted at ship fleet operators. -Contribute to the development and standardisation of a common product data model, consistent with ISO 10303 Part 226 (AP226 for ship mechanical systems) and the requirements of the operational phase of the ship life cycle. The implementation of this product model in the form of a data repository, in order to facilitate the electronic access to a common set of data for RAM, SIR and TAIM, was another objective of the MOSys project. MOSys objectives were accomplished via development of: -A RAM/RCM Software: This is an integrated software tool, for use of RAM and RCM analyses in design, with the aim of decreasing the life cycle cost of the assets. It includes modules such as failure mode, effect and criticality analysis, fault tree analysis, RCM analysis, maintenance cost analysis and availability analysis. -A SIR Software: This is a prototype software tool, in the area of Survey, Inspection and Repair planning with particular emphasis on the ship dry-docking process. The software was designed to integrate and optimise the execution of ship repair activities, related to ship equipment and machinery, from the ship operator, repair yard and class society points of view. -A TAIM Software: This is a prototype software with a life-cycle based data management and data analysis functionality. The functionality includes data representation, data browsing, data analysis, data exchange and data entry. The software provides an integrated approach to technical asset management that could reduce the cost of ownership of ships in operation. The software includes a data exchange interface based on STEP AP226. -A Product Data Model: The product data model was developed within the scope of ISO STEP AP226. A novel method based on collaborative use of STEP and the PLIB standard was used. This involves the use of PLIB dictionaries as an integral part of AP226. This development is a significant achievement in the data standardisation process and is gradually being adopted by industry. Production of a set of PLIB compliant dictionaries, in draft form, was also accomplished. -A Data Repository: This is a prototype data repository based on the AP226 data model. The developed prototype software provides a server that offers the data repository functionality to the MOSys modules or to other external clients. It also includes interfaces with RAM, SIR and TAIM for data exchange and clients for maintaining the user database and the repository. Administration clients enabling the maintainers of the repository to view and manipulate the data within the SEMDR are included.
