Abstract

In a Steel Industry Maintenance Mangement (MM) functions are customarily performed using both conventional data processing systems and Manual Processes. Automated processes are implemented for those MM functions distinguished by their respective nature; manual processes are used for those MM functions that require human judgement and intervention. The manual processes are generally performed by personnel with different levels of “Expertise”. MM functions requiring human judgement and intervention is an appropriate applications for artificial intelligence (AI) techniques such as expert systems and Natural Language Proceessing.The first part of the paper describes about a computer program developed in 'C' and which is in use for acquiring knowledge about maintenance planning and trouble-shooting of equipments. The second part of the paper briefly describes the areas in which we are planning to apply AI techniques in Maintenance Management.
