mködtetés

Működtetés is the act of operating or running a system, device, or organization. It encompasses all processes required to keep a system in operation, including activation, control, monitoring, and decision-making. The term is derived from the verb működtetni and is commonly used to describe how equipment or services are brought into and kept in service. In Hungarian usage, it can overlap with üzemeltetés, though some contexts distinguish between activation or control (működtetés) and day-to-day operation or management (üzemeltetés).

The term is applied across several sectors, including engineering, information technology, energy production, transportation, and public services. In engineering and automation, működtetés refers to actuation and control of equipment—starting and stopping machines, regulating process variables, and responding to sensor information. In organizational or service contexts, it can denote the execution of operating processes or delivery of services.

Key aspects of működtetés include planning and scheduling of operating activities, control logic and automation, real-time monitoring and diagnostics, and safety and regulatory compliance. Effective működtetés requires coordination with maintenance (karbantartás) to minimize downtime, ensure reliability, and extend asset life. The interplay between operation and maintenance is central to maximizing performance and safety.

Lifecycle considerations include commissioning (beüzemelés), regular operation, updates or upgrades, and eventual decommissioning. Common challenges involve ensuring reliability and availability, energy efficiency, risk management, data integrity, and adherence to applicable standards and laws.
