Improving production efficiency by using preventive maintenance
Abstract:
The costs of maintenance, equipment and labors are increasing very rapidly, affecting the production
efficiency so it is crucial to implement effective maintenance programs that will be able to decrease replacement and breakdown costs. It is necessary for the factories to have the effectively preventive planning. Therefore, this operational research aims to design and plan the preventive maintenance in order to get the highest machine
capacity. The preventive maintenance scheme was designed by using Preventive Planning Principles in order to enhance production activity and reduce time lost and opportunity cost in the event of machinery break down. The designed planning was exercised in the production process where the bottleneck process often bring inefficiencies. After the implementation, the preventive maintenance planning appears to increase the production capacity and improve enterprise quantifiable benefits"
