Abstract
In this paper, a preventive maintenance (PM) planning and control system designed and implemented in a large foundry is presented. The system designed and implemented is part of the measures taken by the top management to increase the scope and effectiveness of PM activities within the production facility. In this paper, first, shortcomings of the previous system are stated. Then, a systematic approach to bring about a well functioning and effective maintenance planning and control system is presented. The heart of the new system is a custom tailored software containing data management, PM task scheduling and performance evaluation modules, and these are discussed in the paper. Furthermore, a priority function developed for the selection of the PM tasks for scheduling is also introduced and discussed.
