Using the Systemic-Transdisciplinary Approach to Enhance the Operational Reliability and Maintenance Programming of Complex Technical Objects

ABSTRACT: The complexity of technical objects is constantly increasing. A single accident or failure on such complex technical objects may cause large human losses, inflict damage on the environment, and be accompanied by severe economic losses. Generally, these single accidents and failures are caused by force-majeure circumstances. The circumstances can be identified, as well as further controlled using the methodology of various types of systemic approach. These types of systemic approach are enhanced not only by the new mathematical methods, but also by the general philosophical solutions. The methodology of systemic-transdisciplinary approach particularly uses models of spatial, time and information units of order.

These models are the result of using the philosophical concept of a single world. These models with total isomorphism allow for more in-depth studies of non-biological, biological and social objects. The findings of such studies may provide a basis for enhancing the reliability of existing methods for monitoring complex technical objects.

Keywords: Systems thinking, systems approaches, reliability optimization, risk assessment.
