Integrated Vehicle Health Management (IVHM) is an end-to-end capability that transforms system data into operational support information. This information has the ability to optimize vehicle maintenance actions, enhance vehicle safety and reliability, and extend product life. Already changing aerospace vehicle design and transforming aerospace organizations¿ manufacturing and operating aircraft, IVHM continues to develop rapidly for use in ground vehicles and marine craft.

In cooperation with Cranfield University, SAE International is pleased to offer this three-day seminar on IVHM. Cranfield University, in partnership with major industry partners (Boeing, BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce, Meggitt, Thales, MoD, Alstom) and the East of England Development Agency (EEDA) launched the IVHM Centre at Cranfield in 2008. The Centre¿s mission, as a global leader in IVHM, is to enable the incorporation of IVHM technology into businesses to realize benefits in productivity, environmental impact, and vehicle performance.

This course provides an introduction to this significant area of technology and provides participants with a comprehensive overview of IVHM technology and its role in business. Drawing heavily from experience and knowledge gained in the aerospace industry, information will be presented as relevant to all mobility industry sectors. Included in this seminar is the book titled Integrated Vehicle Health Management: Perspectives on an Emerging Field, recently published by SAE International and edited by Ian K. Jennions.

Dr. Ian K. Jennions is Professor and Director of the IVHM Centre, Cranfield University, U.K. He joined the IVHM Centre, which is funded by a number of industrial partners, when it was founded in 2008 and has led its development and growth in IVHM research and education. Spanning a career of nearly 30 years, Dr. Jennions has worked primarily in the gas turbine industry. He has worked for Rolls-Royce, General Electric and Alstom, holding a number of technical roles where he gained expertise in aerodynamics, heat transfer, fluid systems, mechanical design, combustion and, more recently, IVHM. He is a Director of the PHM Society, a contributing member of the SAE IVHM Steering Group and HM-1 IVHM committee, and a Fellow of IMechE, RAeS and ASME. He is also the editor of SAE International¿s series of books on the topic of Integrated Vehicle Health Management. He has a Mechanical Engineering degree and a PhD in CFD, both from Imperial College, London.¿

Dr. Fatih Camci is currently a Senior Research Fellow at the IVHM Centre where he works on the development of diagnostics, prognostics and maintenance planning technologies for electro-mechanical systems. Previously, Dr. Camci worked as an Assistant Professor at Fatih University in Turkey and as senior project engineer at Impact Technologies, in Rochester NY before joining Cranfield University. Dr. Camci has been involved in many research projects in the USA, Turkey, and UK that have been funded by NSF, Ford Motor Company, US Navy SBIR, US Air Force Research Lab, TUBITAK, Turkish State Railways, EPSRC, Boeing, Rolls-Royce, Thales, Meggitt, BAE Systems, and OFGEM . Dr. Camci received his BSc and MSc degrees in Computer Engineering at Istanbul and Fatih University in Turkey. He received his PhD in Industrial Engineering from Wayne State University, USA. He has more than 40 academic publications.

Dr. Peter Sandborn is a Professor in the CALCE Electronic Products and Systems Center at the University of Maryland. Dr. Sandborn¿s group develops obsolescence forecasting algorithms, performs strategic design refresh planning, and lifetime buy quantity optimization. Dr. Sandborn is the developer of the MOCA refresh planning tool. MOCA has been used by private and government organizations worldwide to perform optimized refresh planning for systems subject to technology obsolescence. Dr. Sandborn also performs research in several other life cycle cost modeling areas including maintenance planning and return on investment analysis for the application of prognostics and health management (PHM) to systems, total cost of ownership of electronic parts, transition from tin-lead to lead-free electronics, and general technology tradeoff analysis for electronic systems. Dr. Sandborn is an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Electronics Packaging Manufacturing and a member of the editorial board of the International Journal of Performability Engineering. He is a past conference chair and program chair of the ASME Design for Manufacturing and Life Cycle Conference. He is the author of over 150 technical publications and several books on electronic packaging and electronic systems cost analysis. He was also recognized as the winner of the 2004 SOLE Proceedings and 2006 Eugene L. Grant awards. He has a B.S. in Engineering Physics from the University of Colorado, Boulder, and a M.S. in Electrical Science and a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
