Course detail
Service and Maintenance of Machines
FSI-EPS Acad. year: 2019/2020 Winter semester
The subject is focused on the most sophisticated knowledge about service and maintenance of machines. Emphasis is laid on the means of fail-safety maintenance, theory of system maintenance and the current trends in maintenance. The principles of Industry 4.0 are also clarified in view of the impacts on the modern machine maintenance and instrumentation. Attention is also devoted to technical diagnostics and its application in maintenance. In this context, tribology and tribodiagnostics, lubricants and lubrication systems are discussed, as often a neglected part of service and maintenance of machines. Failures of machine nodes and their identification are presented. The subject is also devoted to the organizational structure and the maintenance management, economy and maintenance performance evaluation as well as quality management and maintenance risks. All mentioned above is discussed in view of machine failure-free operation.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
Pursuant to the course contents, students will acquire broad knowledge in the field of operation and maintenance of machines, which will allow them to competently engage in solving various problems related to the area in question in industrial engineering and electrotechnic practice.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of reliability and technical diagnostics from the so-far completed bachelor-level studies is assumed.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The subject consists of lectures and tutorials. The lectures are focused on the basic principles and the theory of problems. Attention is concentrated on the utilization, and mainly on the practical application of knowledge which the students have gained in the subject of „The Principles of Technical Diagnostics“ and „The Principles of Reliability“. Tutorials are focused on the practical knowledge gained in the lectures, and in an appropriate semester section completed with computer support. Depending upon the possibilities, the lectures of the specialists from industrial practice as well as the excursions in the companies, whose activities relate to the subject, are also organized.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
The course consists of exercises and lectures. Exercises are mandatory. Exercise is completed by credit (is awarded in 13th teaching week). 100% attendance at seminars and elaboration, proper submission and recognition of the results of the written work is necessary for its acquisition. The student chooses the topic of the thesis at the beginning of the semester. The exam is a written test, the student can obtain up to 100 points from this test. Evaluation of the test result is given by the ECTS grading scale.
Aims
The objective of the course is to obtain theoretical knowledge and practical experience in the operation and maintenance of machines.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
The students’ participation in seminars and activity. 100% participation in seminars is required; in case of absence, the student is obliged to substitute for the missed tuition in a way determined by the lecturer.
