Analysis of Device Failure in the Mechanical Production Plant

Abstract The article evaluates the failure rate of devices in the Mechanical Processing Plant using a traditional quality tool, the Pareto-Lorenzo diagram. A comparative analysis of failure rates was performed, recorded in repair, inspection and maintenance card. Then, changes were proposed in order to reduce failure rates and earlier detection of equipment malfunctions. In order to analyze the failure rate of grain washer equipment during thick coal preparation process, one quality management tools was used - the Pareto-Lorenzo diagram. In this case, it is important to assess the mechanical failure of devices, and demonstrating which devices generate most repairs. Based on materials made available by the mine, such as: Repair, inspection and maintenance cards, Device cards, DTR documentation. Quantitative and qualitative assessment the most frequently occurring mechanical failures during operation of devices in process enrichment of coarse sizes was carried out. An attempt was made to assess failure rate of devices on a grain washer. A comparative analysis of failure rates in 2015-2017 recorded in the repair, inspection and maintenance card was carried out. Then, changes were proposed to stand, in order reduce failure rates, and earlier detection equipment malfunctions.
