APPLICATION OF MAINTENANCE PLANNING AND CONTROL FOR MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY: A CASE STUDY
Keywords:
Maintenance, Planning, ManufacturingAbstract
Recent technologies are characterized by high level of automation deploying complex and sophisticated machines. The aim here is to achieve higher productivity and profit in an organization. The reduction in down time (maintenance time of the machines) is a step towards getting a maximum output from machines. In the present research work a systematic approach for maintenance planning and control has been applied on one of the critical unit, ‘Machine building division’ of mechanical manufacturing industry as a case study. Down time or maintenance time has been reduced by analyzing the failure pattern of critical parts of all types of machines. The study suggested that with proposed maintenance plan, down time of machine shop can be reduced by 9.77% and monitory benefit to company due to new maintenance policy is of Rs. 28, 04023/- for one time maintenance in total life span of equipment (based upon maintenance periodicity).
