Effects of Maintenance Policies on Production Costs and System Reliability in a Canned Food Factory

Abstract

This paper presents a procedure for modeling and analysis of maintenance operations in a factory. A canned food production facility was analyzed in detail and the effects of different maintenance policies on production system performance was determined. It was found that selection of an appropriate maintenance policy significantly reduced production costs and increased equipment availability, production line reliability and its output rate. The procedures outlined and the models used in this paper can be used by operational managers and maintenance engineers to increase performance of their production lines.
