Résumé : |
In the automotive industry, it is thought that effective maintenance management will permit fast, cost-effective responses to unpredictable and ever-changing product demand and support rapid product launches. Continued pressure on companies to reduce costs and improve customer satisfaction has resulted in increasingly detailed examinations of maintenance strategies. A judiciously selected maintenance program can provide significant advantages in relation to quality, safety, availability and cost reduction in these plants. A wrong decision can lead to the failure of the maintenance program and consequent economic losses, as the setting up of these programs is a strategic decision. Therefore justification of any given maintenance strategy within an organisation must consider cost criteria. The purpose of this study is to select the apposite maintenance strategy based on the maintenance cost choice criteria to improve the availability of production equipments. Corrective maintenance, regular preventive maintenance and predictive maintenance costs are compared and the exponential law is used to represent reliability and evaluate maintenance costs. Further simple mathematical cost models are developed and presented to carry out the decision making in relation to the selection of the maintenance strategy. The conclusion that can be drawn from the study indicates that maintenance cost ratio is the governing factor in this aspect. The proposed method can be adapted to an industrial situation in a mass production factory like an automotive industry. |
