Abstract
A method is developed to incorporate human-related factors, in addition to machine-related factors, in machine failure analysis. This enables the revenue model to use the expected uptime and the probability of failure, given the operator skill level and working conditions, to calculate the expected revenue associated with each intervention method. A case study of a manufacturing company is considered incorporating two possible intervention methods: reducing the production rate to provide more cognition time and adding a shift expert to guide the operators. Different courses of action are chosen for the various skill-shift scenarios presented.
