Modeling of maintenance costs

Summary, in Swedish

Abstract in Undetermined

Increased global competition demands for increased manufacturing costs awareness. Maintenance activities and strategies have been studied extensively, but few studies discuss maintenance costs. This paper presents a model for calculating performance-driven manufacturing costs (in currency/piece), including parameters for determining the maintenance costs in relation to the total manufacturing costs. This study focus on developing an existing manufacturing part cost model involving parameters driving maintenance costs. A proposal of the allocation of different maintenance activities to different costs parameters is discussed together with the utilization of the model in an industrial case study.
