Operation Planning With Part Compatibility Assignment Checks
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing operation plan creation methods for gas turbines do not consider compatibility between parts, leading to the creation of plans where incompatible parts are simultaneously used, making actual operation impossible.
Innovation Solution
An operation plan creation device that acquires setting data including part information and determines assignability based on compatibility, ensuring only compatible parts are used, with an assignability determination unit to assess compatibility and update plans accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If operation plans are created based only on cost considerations, then cost efficiency is improved, but operational feasibility deteriorates due to incompatible part combinations
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary compatibility checking of parts before finalizing the operation plan. The assignability determination unit checks whether candidate parts can be simultaneously mounted and used in the device before including them in the cost-optimized plan, preventing infeasible plans from being generated in the first place
Solution Approach 2:
The assignability determination unit acts as an intermediary between the cost optimization process and the final operation plan. It verifies part compatibility and simultaneously mountability, serving as a bridge that ensures both cost efficiency and operational feasibility are achieved
2Reliability
If compatibility checking is added to operation plan creation, then operational feasibility is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The operation plan creation system performs self-verification through the assignability determination unit, which automatically checks part compatibility and simultaneous mountability. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for external manual verification processes, reducing overall system complexity despite adding internal checking functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The assignability determination unit is designed to handle multiple checking functions simultaneously - verifying both compatibility between parts and simultaneous mountability constraints. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated checking mechanisms, thereby limiting the increase in system complexity
3Reliability
If part compatibility and simultaneous mountability are verified, then part replacement success rate is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs compatibility and simultaneous mountability checks in advance during operation plan creation, before actual part replacement occurs. This preliminary verification ensures that only feasible part combinations are selected, eliminating the need for time-consuming trial-and-error adjustments during actual maintenance operations
Solution Approach 2:
The assignability determination unit provides immediate feedback on part compatibility and simultaneous mountability during the plan creation process. This real-time feedback allows the system to quickly eliminate incompatible combinations and finalize the operation plan without extensive iterative adjustments later

AI summary
An operation plan creation device that is configured to create an operation plan for a plurality of parts to be mounted in a device includes a setting data acquisition unit configured to acquire setting data including information on a time of start of an operation of the part and a time of a scheduled performance of inspection of the part, and information on parts that are candidates for assignment to the device, for each device, an operation plan creation unit configured to create data of the operation plan including an operation period of the part from the time of the start of the operation to the time of the scheduled performance of inspection using the setting data, and an assignability determination unit configured to determine an assignability for the part.
