Abstract
This paper presents the comparative analysis between profits of the two models of a two‐unit CC plant with same/different installed capacity combination. The analysis is useful in deciding the optimum plant equipment capacity combinations and particular model suitability over the other to the existing situation. In plant model I, the actual plant situation with four EOT cranes (unit I, II 200 ton each) is analyzed. But, it is observed that equipment combination in terms of installed capacities as specified above could be analyzed by varying the installed capacity and thereby achieving a significant difference in the plant performance. Hence, plant model II explores a situation by replacing the 200 ton unit II cranes with 100 ton cranes and operating both the units at full installed capacity with priority of repair and operation to unit I. Upon failure in either unit, an inspection is carried out to decide the type of maintenance task to be performed. The actual plant downtime data is used for achieving the optimized reliability indices and comparison among both the models. Essential graphs are plotted to demonstrate the results and related comparison.
