AN APPLICATION OF FIELD SERVICE CONCEPT TO SHIP MAINTENANCE

In Japan, ship's crews are becoming involved with the maintenance and repair of equipment as well as its operation and use. However, maintenance activities are normally limited to periodic checks of equipment performance, visual inspections, cleaning and the removal and replacement of components. The authors carried out a basic study on the application of logistics and field service concepts to ship maintenance. A simulation model was also proposed to analyze what and how many spare/repair parts should be provided on board. The maintenance concept is developed in conjunction with the operational requirements based on the ship's functional analysis and equipment design.
