Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities

MIET2385 Systems Engineering Principles, or equivalent


Course Description

In this course you will develop an in-depth understanding of the effect of different maintenance strategies including scheduled maintenance, preventive maintenance, and Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) on performance of logistics systems. You will study system diagnostics techniques, statistical process control, signal diagnostics, decision support systems modelling, simulation, testing, correlation, and validation..

Please note that if you take this course for a bachelor honours program, your overall mark in this course will be one of the course marks that will be used to calculate the weighted average mark (WAM) that will determine your award level.

This applies to students who commence enrolment in a bachelor honours program from 1 January 2016 onwards. See the WAM information web page for more information.( http://www1.rmit.edu.au/browse;ID=eyj5c0mo77631 )

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs)

On successful completion of the course you should be able to:

  1. Formulate different maintenance strategies including scheduled maintenance, preventive maintenance according to the systems sustainment requirements.
  2. Develop and implement the concept and plan for Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) on performance of complex engineering and logistics systems.
  3. Apply the theories of system diagnostics techniques including statistical process control, signal diagnostics, simulation and testing to determine system safety and reliability
  4. Research new system monitoring theories and methods to integrate with decision support systems.
  5. Create models for analysis of new maintenance and logistics services


Overview of Learning Activities

The learning activities included in this course are:

  • lectures: will guide you through important principles and concepts and assist in appropriate problem solving techniques;

  • laboratory sessions: will help you become familiar with hardware systems, to connect theory to practice, and reinforce the principles and concepts learnt in the lectures; and

  • project work: will help you learn many useful techniques for engineering project activities, including how to interact with staff and fellow students in a smaller group setting, communication and leadership skills.


Overview of Learning Resources

You will be able to access course information and learning materials through myRMIT.  Lists of relevant reference texts, resources in the library and freely accessible Internet sites will be provided. You will use laboratory equipment and computer software within the School during project and assignment work.
