More Book Details

Description of the Book:

This is a final report on the design, development and implementation of Phase II of a two-phase integrated shipboard/shoreside computer management information system. Phase II concerns Preventive Maintenance and Machinery History operating on shipboard/shoreside minicomputers. Phase I dealt with spare parts inventory control and ordering. The design of the system was based on computerization of the existing Shipboard Maintenance and Repair System which was implemented aboard the M/V SUGAR ISLANDER in 1977. The present system utilizes a minicomputer aboard the ship and another minicomputer in the ship operator’s office ashore. The shipboard computer is used to generate maintenance schedules based on calender days and by engine hours, update maintenance performed and add to machinery history, enter planned maintenance items, review regulatory body inspection schedules, and send/receive data to/from office. The shoreside computer is used to update regulatory body inspections, review maintenance performed, send/receive data to/from ship, and generate numerous reports useful to management.

Appraisal for the system thus far has been favorable. The system works well and has eliminated most of the time lag difficulties inherent in the SMARS. Additional keywords: Logistics support, Maintenance management, Spare parts, Merchant vessels. (Author
