Abstract
Maintenance services are becoming increasingly important
in the current business environment. Emphasis on the
availability and maintainability over the entire life
cycle of modern, complex technical systems calls for
relevant product-specific information. This information
begins to grow already when the product development
starts and accumulates throughout the operational phase
of the product. Continuous availability of information on
the safety and dependability characteristics and the
system condition is required for the fluent operation of
the system, e.g. for maintenance planning or
decision-making purposes. In acute situations, such as in
disturbances, the information must be readily accessible,
e.g. instructions on how to ensure that a system is in a
safe state for the intended repair action. In this paper
a concept for the safety and dependability background
information system has been proposed. It includes the
identification of basic structural elements of the
background information system, and procedural steps for
creation and exploitation of the information contained in
the system. Also problematic aspects and implications of
the concept have been discussed.
