The role of Supervisory Control System to reduce Mean Time to Repair

Applying new methodologies in control and monitoring systems can have efficient effect in providing reliability, operation endurance, reduction of expenditures and hazards in maintenance, and abatement of required time for maintenance of air defense facilities. Regarding that it is possible to develop and maintain domestic air defense systems in Iran, the present study has experimented the effect of recruiting control and monitoring systems on reduction of average required time for maintenance. This was conducted by defining the concepts of control and monitoring systems, reliability, possibility of maintenance, average required time for maintenance, and by analysis of questionnaires and interviews. In this respect control and monitoring systems were considered as macro-independent variables and reduction of average required time for maintenance as a dependent variable. Being an applied research, the present study was conducted by a descriptive methodology and a quantitative perspective using field (questionnaires and interviews) and library (documents and miscellaneous sources).The outcomes were extracted by combining the analysis of qualitative and quantitative data. Finally, it was determined that using new approaches in new control and monitoring systems like SCADA was crucial.
