Abstract

Plant operation and management require data from which information can be extracted to determine the state of the plant, and predict its health and anticipated failure interval in the future. The data is lacking in most companies in Nigeria and sometimes when available are not organized in the proper form to extract useful information. This research described the use of reliability engineering principles to perform maintenance practice in a brewery industry. The operational data were obtained from the log book of the plant and subjected to reliability engineering analysis. The average reliabilities of the plant was: 0.431, 0.376, 0.434, 0.603 and 0.722 with average availability of 0.985, 0.986, 0.987, 0.988 and 0.996 respectively. The results show that reliability engineering principles can be used to determine the health and performance of the plant is highly suggested for adoption and implementation.
