Cluster analysis of maintenance management problems
Renyan Jiang · 2009
Some problems in maintenance management and decision need to classify a set of items into several classes based on some criteria. This paper presents a simple, straightforward and intuitive cluster method to solve such problems. The proposed method is different from but somewhat similar to the K-means approach. The main advantage is that it does not need iteration. Three real-world examples are included to illustrate its appropriateness and usefulness.
