FACTORY MAINTENANCE PROBLEM 2Factory Maintenance ProblemThis report paper is about the maintenance strategy of an equipment is a factory that manufactures building products. The dust processed by another factory is loaded by the use of shovel that is wheeled into a hopper and is raised through a bucket elevator and inclined conveyor to the system’s top. From this point, the dust is dispersed to the hoppers for storage by a huge conveyor of scraper chain. Water is then mixed with dust in the single shaft mixer and fed via chamber for de-airing into the machine of the extruder. The resultant product from the machine for extrusion is loaded onto bogies and processed through kiln and dryer. This report paper requires an evaluation of the maintenance strategy for this equipment which will contribute to a factory wide reliability centred maintenance strategy. The reliability centred maintenance is a method meant to develop preventive maintenance since it depends on the prevention of potential failure which may pose negative results on the performance of the equipment such as an increase in the cost of maintenance[ CITATION Pet151\l 2057 ]. The reliability centred maintenance that can be implemented in this dust equipment is as shown in the figure below:Reliability centred maintenance strategy[ CITATION Wal13 \l 2057 ]
FACTORY MAINTENANCE PROBLEM 3Reactive MaintenanceThis strategy of maintenance involves automatically replacement of the sections of the machine which are known to be experiencing degradation as a result of continuous usage or age. The replacement of these parts will ensure that the unexpected failures are prevented and maximum duration of production realised. This technique is normally performed as an overhaul where the entire equipment is eliminated from functioning during the shutdown and taken to the workshop for disengagement of its components and then constructed afresh. The use of the strategy of reactive maintenance is aimed at making sure that the production process of the equipment is not interrupted for a given duration[ CITATION Ant12 \l 2057 ]. Some of the sections of the equipment that can be overhauled include the making machine extruder, making machine mixer, extract conveyor, scraper chain conveyor, bucket elevator, and large wheeled loading shovel. Through the process of renewal of the equipment on a regular basis, the stoppages as a result of wear-out are greatly eliminated. After the equipment have been overhauled to the standards of the manufacturer, a new performance is expected by the factory. Nevertheless, there is expected exposure to infant mortality dangers because of improper control of the quality, introduced damage, selection of the material incorrectly selecting a material, and mistakes during assembly. The reactive maintenance we used as a robust and sound quality control and assurance strategy with a perfect checking and rebuild procedures[ CITATION Kla10 \l 2057 ]. Preventive MaintenanceThe strategy of preventive maintenance is one of the very first and efficient technique.This method can be done by the use of two ways; namely intervention and replacement and observation and inspection. The initial form of preventive maintenance is normally the response used for parts of the equipment which portrays signs of wear-out and age. This
