A case study of modelling preventive maintenance of a production plant using subjective data |

In this paper we describe a subjective data based case study carried out at a company manufacturing copper products, which parallels a previously published objective data based study at the same plant. The purpose of this study is twofold. The first is to model the implementation of Planned Preventive Maintenance (PM) to an Extrusion Press using the delay time concept. The second is to test a method for estimation of model parameters from subjective data in the context of delay time modelling. The parameter values of the underlying fault arrival process and the delay time distribution were, unlike in a parallel objective study, initially estimated from subjective data obtained through a questionnaire survey. Since bias was present in the initial subjective estimate, a method of removing it was developed to improve the model fit. On the basis of the data analysis and delay time modelling, improved PM policy and procedures were proposed to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of PM. |
