“…Sari et al (2021) develop a hierarchical framework to assess cleaner maintenance performance by embedding sustainability issues in maintenance management practices. Singh et al (2020) combine expert experience to build a maintenance management systems based on significant aspects including environmental impact and material applications. Specifically, their multi-level model analyses different variables and sub-variables connected to sustainable maintenance management, g.g.. energy production/loss, digitalization as improvement of sustainability-related performance, water resource management in terms of supply, pollution, shortage, and so on.…”

This work aims to analyse the role played by relevant sustainability factors towards the implementation of maintenance interventions in the manufacturing industrial sector. In this context, we focus on industrial water distribution systems, on whose effective work depends the functioning of core plants as well as general industrial facilities. In detail, we propose a Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) application based on the use of the Analytic Network Process (ANP) as a methodological way to prioritise maintenance interventions while considering the influence of some of the most relevant sustainability factors identified in literature. The main advantage of such an approach consists in the elaboration of a flexible maintenance procedure for companies based on a well-known and reliable multi-criteria application. The novelty of our work refers to the development of a structured link between sustainability factors and maintenance management of industrial water distribution systems, something that is fundamental in manufacturing but also in other fields of application.

“…'Maintenance' refers to the process of keeping machines and equipment in good condition to maintain efficiency and extend their useful life. It comprises different taken by the organization to replace, repair and maintain the components and equipment of the plant, which allows continuous operation within satisfactory limits [9]. Maintenance management can thus be regarded as a restorative function of production management focused on keeping equipment/machines and plant services constantly available in proper operating condition [10].…”

Evaluation of Effective Maintenance and Reliability Operation Management – A Review

et al. 2021

Manufacturing operations are often carried out with one major goal in mind: to develop products that satisfy increasing customer demand for reliable and high-quality goods. Achieving this target is often hindered by factors such as machine downtime caused by faults in the machinery or production process which leads to time and financial losses. Hence, it is important for operation managers to ensure measures are employed at every stage of production to effectively address these factors and enable unhindered production. Some commonly used strategies include timely maintenance of machines and facilities and reliability analysis of components and processes. This paper assesses the influence of effective maintenance and reliability practices for operations management.

“…Higher connectivity is also expected from optimization efforts to operate neighboring hydropower facilities across whole river systems. Predictive and intelligent maintenance [ 4 ], higher efficiency operation, development of digital twins, etc., all require communication of measurement results and associated data analysis from many components and equipment, often in real time. Higher connectivity, that is, a larger number of communications channels, means a larger cyber-attack surface, and consequently, more risks, as depicted in Figure 1 .…”

Hydropower facilities are often remotely monitored or controlled from a centralized remote control room. Additionally, major component manufacturers monitor the performance of installed components, increasingly via public communication infrastructures. While these communications enable efficiencies and increased reliability, they also expand the cyber-attack surface. Communications may use the internet to remote control a facility’s control systems, or it may involve sending control commands over a network from a control room to a machine. The content could be encrypted and decrypted using a public key to protect the communicated information. These cryptographic encoding and decoding schemes become vulnerable as more advances are made in computer technologies, such as quantum computing. In contrast, quantum key distribution (QKD) and other quantum cryptographic protocols are not based upon a computational problem, and offer an alternative to symmetric cryptography in some scenarios. Although the underlying mechanism of quantum cryptogrpahic protocols such as QKD ensure that any attempt by an adversary to observe the quantum part of the protocol will result in a detectable signature as an increased error rate, potentially even preventing key generation, it serves as a warning for further investigation. In QKD, when the error rate is low enough and enough photons have been detected, a shared private key can be generated known only to the sender and receiver. We describe how this novel technology and its several modalities could benefit the critical infrastructures of dams or hydropower facilities. The presented discussions may be viewed as a precursor to a quantum cybersecurity roadmap for the identification of relevant threats and mitigation.
