THE INSTITUTE OF MATHEMATICS AND ITS APPLICATIONS
5th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON
MODELLING IN INDUSTRIAL MAINTENANCE AND RELIABILITY
"IMPACTING ON PRACTICE"
5-7 April 2004
University of Salford, UK
http://www.ima.org.uk/mathematics/conferences.htm
The purpose of the conference is to provide a forum for discussion
of traditional and
innovative modelling approaches to improve the performance of
plant, products and processes.
Of particular interest are contributions to modelling issues in:
* Maintenance (inspection, overhaul, preventive maintenance)
* Fault diagnostics and condition based maintenance
* Reliability
* Risk analysis and risk management
* Reliability-centred-maintenance
* Warranty modelling
* Life-cycle costing and capital replacement
* Logistics in maintenance and reliability
* Human factors assessment
Contributions from both the university sector and from industry are
welcome. The conference
will benefit both practitioners and academics in the field wishing to
keep in touch with
recent developments and influence future directions. This
conference follows on from the
success of earlier IMA supported conferences in Modelling in
Maintenance and Reliability
(Edinburgh, 1992 & 1998; Salford, 1995 & 2001).
All accepted papers received by the appropriate deadline will
appear in the conference
proceedings. Papers will also be considered for publication, if
authors so wish, in a
special issue of the "IMA Journal of Management Mathematics".
Abstracts and papers should be
sent to the conference chair.
