Brief background of course
...
It may be remarked that this course may, from the fall of 2015, change the name to "Asset management methods". A new course in "Reliability of safety-critical systems" may also be introduced. The course content may therefore change as a result of these changes. The changes will be available http://www.ntnu.edu/studies/courses, once implemented. The course responsible person in the fall of 2014 is Professor Mary Ann Lundteigen. I will also give about 50% of the lectures. This this is a specialization course, need the support of some "specialists" on certain topics. Some special topics will thererfore be lectured by Associate Professor Yiliu Liu and our new (at NTNU) Professor Anne Barros. As the course responsible, I will always be present in the lectures (with one or two exceptions) , also those not given by me.
Course objective and motivation

- Some examples showing the relevance of this topic may be found with consultancy companies, such as with Safetec, Lloyd's Register Consulting, and DNV-GL (link to the GL-part of the services), and Lilleaker Consulting. Manufacturers like ABB, Siemens, AkerSolutions, FMC, Kongsberg Maritime and many more need to design systems in light of SIL requirements, and also demonstrate (sometimes with assistance of the consultancy companies) that the SIL requirements are met. End users, like railway service providers like Jernbaneverket, oil companies like Statoil, Det Norske, GDF-Suez, Shell and Conoco-Phillips among some, and owners of smelting plants, owners of water power stations must demonstrate that the SIL requirements continue to be met throughout the life of the systems.
Maintenance optimization:
How to define requirements for safety systems and barriers, and how to assess the reliability of safety instrumented systems with background in IEC 61508 and related standards. This includes SIL allocation, risk acceptance criteria, requirements for design of technical and operational barriers, alternative strategies for treatment of common cause failures, various methods for determining proof test intervals, and trade off between safety and regularity. Within maintenance optimization the following topics are covered: Age, block, and minimal repair policies. Optimisation of intervals and intervention level in condition monitoring models. Optimum grouping of maintenance activities. Spare part optimisation. Reliability Centred maintenance. Data collection and analysis. In relation to technical safety we study how the result from the risk analysis may be utilized to assess the effect of various safety system configurations, and combination of these under various constraints.
