Technical System Maintenance

Sylwia Werbińska-Wojciechowska is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Department of Maintenance and Operation of Logistic, Transportation and Hydraulic Systems at Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Poland. Her fields of interest include issues of technical systems maintenance modelling using the delay-time concept, modelling and performance measurement of transport systems operation, as well as supply chain resilience and vulnerability problems. She has published more than 100 scientific articles in journals such as the European Journal of Operational Research, Eksploatacja i Niezawodnosc – Maintenance and Reliability, and Procedia Engineering. She is a member of Polish Logistics Association and Polish Maintenance Society. She also represents the Wroclaw University of Science and Technology in the European Safety, Reliability and Data Association and European Safety and Reliability Association-ESRA. She is a member of ESRA’s Technical Committee: Maintenance Modelling and Applications. Moreover, she a member of the ESRA newsletter’s editorial board. She is also involved in the Logistic and Transportation Processes Section of the Polish Academy of Science. She has led or participated in 12 national or international research projects in the fields of technical systems maintenance modelling, reliability and safety identification, evaluation, prediction and optimization, and logistic support designing.
