 Fuzzy Logic
■ A method/ algorithm to reasoning that look like human
reasoning.
■ Analyze all intermediate possibilities between YES and NO.
■ It may fail to give accurate reasoning, but delivers
acceptable reasoning.
■ It can be implemented in systems with various sizes and
capacity ranging from micro to super network computers.
Fuzzy Logic and TPM

■ Maintenance has not led itself to systemization due to the

fact that its activities are not automatic during operation.
■ Hence, there is no need for an interactive and systematic
approach for maintenance practice.
■ Preventive maintenance automatic tend to be static, and
not flexible to changes in the shop floor.
■ Fuzzy logic is used to determine the most efficient actions
to be undertaken to overcome these faults. The proposed
system should able to handle multiple criteria decision
environment.
■ J.Yang also proposed a integrated fuzzy multiple criteria
decision making (MCDM) techniques for solving vendor
selection problems
■ Here the work focuses on identifying the ability of
Maintenance practice by Fuzzy FBMS (Failure Based
Maintenance System) model.
■ Therefore, the most important factors like Downtime &
Frequency is taken into account.
■ The result shows that the selection of Type of Maintenance
is acceptable and suitable for the case situation
considered.
The Fuzzy System

■ The fuzzy inference system contains following five major

steps.
(i) Fuzzifier (ii) Rule base (iii) Fuzzy inference engine (iv)
Defuzzifier and (v) output quantity.
■ The first step is to take the inputs and determine the
degree to which they belong.
■ The input is always a crisp numerical value limited to the
universe of discourse of the input variable and the output is
a fuzzy degree of membership (always the interval between
0 and 1).
Fuzzy Logic and Maintenance

■ An overall plan has to be prepared for the production

facilities for the conduct of ‘just-in-time’ maintenance
program
■ Prioritization of maintenance (using FMECA or Fuzzy Logic)
should be done based on the risk the failure represents,
described as consequence and failure impact/probability of
failure.
■ Evaluation:
■ In the system inputs are expert rule, and fuzzy input
obtained from the first step, while output is fuzzy value of
maintenance practice to be carried out.
■ Here, there are two variables, downtime and frequency and
each has four subdivisions. So we need at least sixteen
(4×4) rules to describe this model.
■ These are based on if-then statement and are formed with
knowledge and guidance given by expert in a
manufacturing company.

Advantages of FLS

■ Mathematics concepts with fuzzy reasoning are quite

simple.
■ One can modify an FLS just by adding or deleting rules, due
to flexibility of the system.
■ FLS can take imprecise, distorted and noisy inputs.
■ FLSs are easy to construct and understand due to a user-
friendly interface.
■ Provides a solution for day to day problems including
consumer electric goods like, Microwave, Refrigerators,
automotive systems, and many other devices.
Disadvantages of FLS
■ There is no systematic approach to fuzzy system designing.
■ They are understandable only when they are available in a
simple format.
■ Suitable for those problems only that do not need high
accuracy analysis.
Conclusion
The logic used throughout the development of the model is
aimed at reducing the causes of breakdowns in the form of
identification and analysis of different criteria such as
downtime and frequency. Finding and improving the worse
machines is not a new concept. However, using a
formalized decision analysis approach based on multiple
criteria and rule-based system is the contribution of the
presented model. One of the main advantages of proposed
model is that we enhance the decision making capacity of
an employee for different conditions. The model can be
used to understand, describe, analyze and prescribe the
control of maintenance practice cost and maintenance
time.
