Abstract

Stability of medical equipment is critical for uninterrupted healthcare services, yet hospital computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) records are often incomplete, heterogeneous, and partially labeled for spare parts usage. In the analyzed CMMS dataset, spare-part-related work orders accounted for approximately 65.1% of maintenance cases, indicating that spare-part readiness is a major contributor to maintenance response time and potential equipment downtime. This study proposes a semi‑supervised hybrid random forest-neural network (RF-NN) model to predict whether a work order will require spare‑parts replacement and to support proactive inventory planning. Retrospective CMMS work‑order records from six hospitals (N = 295) were pre‑processed using leakage‑safe pipelines (categorical one‑hot encoding, text feature extraction from fault descriptions, and standardization of numeric fields). Semi‑supervised self‑training was used to exploit unlabeled or weakly labeled records through iterative pseudo‑labelling. Models were evaluated using stratified 10‑fold cross‑validation and reported as mean ± SD. The hybrid RF-NN achieved Accuracy = 0.986 ± 0.018, precision = 0.980 ± 0.026, recall = 1.000 ± 0.000, and F1‑score = 0.990 ± 0.013, outperforming RF, NN, and Markov baselines. These results demonstrate the practical advantage of combining semi‑supervised learning with hybrid modelling to reduce missed spare‑parts cases, minimize downtime risk, and strengthen CMMS‑ready procurement decision support.

Abstract

Spare parts for essential medical equipment are vital to ensure uninterrupted healthcare provision, especially in areas where resources are limited. This paper presents an integrative approach that integrates failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) with supervised machine learning (ML) models in order to allow better predictive maintenance and optimize management of spare parts. In order to increase the accuracy of the forecast, FMEA was first used to compute risk priority numbers (RPNs) of the components, quantifying the risk of each component, and then using it as an important input feature to the ML algorithms. Data from six hospitals and ten critical medical devices, such as ventilators, defibrillators, dialysis machines, and computed tomography (CT) scanners, were analyzed to identify high-risk failure modes and prioritize maintenance tasks. Three different supervised learning models (random forest (RF), artificial neural network (ANN), and support vector machine (SVM)) was built and tested based on four metrics: accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The precision of RF and ANN was 1.00 and SVM showed an excellent recall value of 0.94, indicating promising results for practical applications. The solution proposed consists of a hierarchical decision system, connecting risk assessment carried out by experts with data-driven forecasts, to create proactive and sustainable management of spare parts. This approach helps healthcare entities lessen the risk of equipment breakdowns, adhere to international healthcare standards, and increase system reliability and efficiency.
