Abstract
Current goal and trend in all areas of mechanical industry as well as in
building and civil engineering is the socially, economically, ecologically
and culturally sustainable development. A technical approach for this
objective is called Lifetime Engineering (also called Life Cycle Engineering).
Integrated lifetime management and maintenance planning includes continuous
condition assessment, predictive modelling of performance, durability and
reliability of the facility, maintenance and repair planning and
decision-making procedure regarding alternative maintenance and repair
actions. The Lifecon LMS belongs to the group of integrated lifetime
management and maintenance planning. It is practically oriented and respects
the principles applied by most European public authorities as well as by
private owners or owner organisations. The main innovative aspect of Lifecon
LMS is a delivery of an open and generic European model of an integrated and
predictive Life Cycle Maintenance and Management Planning System (LMS) that -
facilitates the change of the facility maintenance and management from a
reactive approach into a predictive approach - works on life cycle principle -
includes following aspects of sustainable and conscious development: human
requirements (usability, safety, health and comfort), life cycle economy, life
cycle ecology and cultural requirements.
