Analysis and modeling of maintenance operations in the context of an oil filling plant

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present models and practical procedures for the analysis of maintenance operations and development of maintenance policies in the context of an oil filling factory. Basic maintenance models, maintenance policy selection and optimum spare part quantity determination procedures are illustrated with a specific case application in a factory.Design/methodology/approach – Maintenance formulas are constructed and applied in a factory to determine down time due to various types of failures and maintenance practices in the system. Based on the analysis of the current system, a new preventive maintenance policy is proposed and its effect on reducing down time due to random failures is estimated by using the formulation developed. Procedures for spare part requirements and optimum order quantities with respect to total costs are outlined for critical spares.Findings – Models and case study results presented in this paper demonstrate that selection of appropriate maintenance ...
