The most critical aspects of any desalination plant are maintenance and operation costs. For solar water desalination, cost reduction and production of superior water quality are still crucial factors that attract researchers. Faults in the design of desalination systems can lead to many maintenance and operational problems in these systems and may lead to increasing water costs and/or decreasing quality of water. This paper offers an analytical study of design considerations and its effects on the operation and maintenance of solar-powered desalination plants such as plant capacity, location, technology, demands, product water specifications, lifetime, availability, reliability, and input resources. This paper also provides an overview of the factors and components of desalination costs compared with other water supply alternatives and traditional desalination methods; discusses challenges and perceptions; and highlights recent developments in the solar water desalination technology that affect the total cost of water delivery and relationships with operation and maintenance.

“…Chen et al (2012) proposed a knowledge-based framework for the conceptual design phase of multidisciplinary systems and the Intelligent Creative Conceptual Design Platform (ICCDP) has been developed. Torres et al (2013) proposed a method to integrate conceptual design information into a CAD system using KBE approach by developing a prototype application. La Rocca and Van Tooren (2010) developed a KBE application called Multi Model Generator (MMG) to support aircraft multidisciplinary design and optimisation.…”

Due to the growing number of requirements and the introduction of new technologies, current trends indicate that more disciplines have been involved into the system design. The design of such multidisciplinary systems, especially during the detailed design phase, requires designers and expertise from different disciplines. Therefore, the research question about how to achieve an integrated design for multidisciplinary systems has attracted the attention from both academia and industry. In order to achieve such integrated design for multidisciplinary systems, more and more researchers focus on the interface of multidisciplinary systems because the interface plays a quite significant role to guarantee the components defined by the designers of different disciplines integrate correctly and to eventually help them to achieve the integrated design. This article presents an interface knowledge base to manage the design data and rules related to the interfaces. A knowledge-based engineering approach is then proposed. By applying the knowledge-based engineering approach, a synergistic integration of the discipline-specific components can be realised; however, the unnecessary iterations can be avoided so that a concurrent design process during the detailed design phase can be achieved. This knowledge-based engineering approach is demonstrated by the case studies based on a partial discharge detection system and a belt conveyor system.

“…It can reduce time and efforts by connecting knowledge from multidisciplinary experts. Similarly, Ma et al (2013) and Torres et al (2013) also used the KB system method to integrate multidisciplinary knowledge into the product conceptual design. Moreover, they use the KB systems to accommodate customers' needs in design activities and support decisions in computer-aided design systems.…”

“…KB systems have been used widely for engineering purpose (Ma et al, 2013; Patel et al, 1997; Prasad, 2014; Prasad, 2016; Torres et al, 2013) and manufacturing management purpose (Aldairi et al, 2016; Milana et al, 2014b; Nawawi et al, 2013; Wibisono and Khan, 2016). They have successfully provided consistent solutions on specific problems, reducing time in decision-making, supporting knowledge integration and knowledge sharing and avoiding loss of knowledge from experts and employees (Wibisono and Khan, 2016).…”

The importance of maintenance has escalated significantly by the increase in automation in manufacturing processes. This condition changed the perspective of maintenance from being considered as an inevitable cost to being seen as a key business function to drive competitiveness. Consequently, maintenance decisions need to be aligned with the business competitive strategy as well as the requirements of manufacturing/quality functions in order to support manufacturing equipment performance. Therefore, it is required to synchronise the maintenance strategy and operations with business and manufacturing/quality aspects. This article presents the design and development of a Knowledge Based System for Integrated Maintenance Strategy and Operations. The developed framework of the Knowledge Based System for Integrated Maintenance Strategy and Operations is elaborated to show how the Knowledge Based System for Integrated Maintenance Strategy and Operations can be applied to support maintenance decisions. The knowledge-based system integrates the Gauging Absences of Prerequisites methodology in order to deal with different decision-making priorities and to facilitate benchmarking with a target performance state. This is a new contribution to this area. The Knowledge Based System for Integrated Maintenance Strategy and Operations is useful in reviewing the existing maintenance system and provides reasonable recommendations for maintenance decisions with respect to business and manufacturing perspectives. In addition, it indicates the roadmap from the current state to the benchmark goals for the maintenance system.
