The machines should have a very high availability. They are reliable, but sometimes stop. In such cases, fault search takes time, and when a diagnosis is found, there is often an extra trip to fetch and replace the part. The percentage of repeat repairs is large, showing that the diagnoses are often wrong. CONSEQUENCES There are considerable costs caused by time lost in fault search and repeat repairs. In addition to this, there are travel costs and bad PR. SOLUTION A GoalArt system could be used to reduce the fault search time to zero and to cut all repeat repairs. The same GoalArt system could be integrated in the OEM's systems in the following ways: In service computers, helping service personnel in the field. Integrated in a server where all machines connected to the Internet can be handled. In the machines themselves, so that the fault is known before the service technician arrives. He can bring the spare part needed with him. In production, for final testing before delivery. For advanced medical equipment, final testing is often 75% of the production time. This can be reduced considerably by using a GoalArt system for automated testing. BENEFITS Using a GoalArt system will increase availability of the machines and reduce the percentage of repeat repairs, and the production times per machine can also be reduced.
