Abstract

Technical operation of lifting and transport equipment is one of the key problems of ports and terminals. The functions of technical operation include maintenance and repair of lifting and transport equipment. The imperfection of the maintenance and repair system leads to downtime of lifting and transport equipment, which affects the cost of loading and unloading operations. The main requirements for technical operation are to ensure the quality and speed of loading and unloading operations with minimal operating costs. One of the indicators for assessing the quality of technical operation is the coefficient of technical readiness, which shows that the probability that the lifting and transport equipment will be in a working state at any time, except for periods in which operation is not provided. These periods include the time when the lifting and transport equipment is being maintained and repaired. Technical operation strategy is selected based on the technical readiness coefficient.

Highlights

  • Technical operation (TO) of lifting and transport equipment (LTE) is one of the key problems of ports and terminals

  • The imperfection of the maintenance and repair works (MR) system leads to downtime of the LTE, which affects the cost of loading and unloading operations (LUO)

  • There is no single approach to the technical operation of port lifting and transport equipment

Summary

Introduction

Technical operation (TO) of lifting and transport equipment (LTE) is one of the key problems of ports and terminals. The functions of technical operation include maintenance and repair (MR) of the LTE. The main requirements for technical operation are to ensure the quality and speed of loading and unloading operations with minimal operating costs. There is no single approach to the technical operation of port lifting and transport equipment. When creating a strategic plan for the development of the StC, a technical policy strategy is worked out that ensures competitiveness. The main areas of the technical policy of the StC include:. - selection of LTE (manufacturer, model range, new or from the secondary market); - service life of the LTE (operation of the LTE up to: a certain operating time of engine hours; maximum technical condition; a certain calendar operating time); - strategy of TO (carrying out maintenance (M): by the schedule, in the certain operating time, the number of processed goods; carrying out repair: (R) according to the schedule, to technical condition, in the case of failure); - selection of repair personnel (full-time or signing a contract with an outsourcing organization)
