Applying Reliability Engineering & Maintenance on Logistics Equipment in Factory of High Pressure Hydraulic Hose

Abstract

This paper describes the applications of Reliability Engineering in the development of maintenance planning on Logistics Equipment in a Factory of High Pressure Hydraulic Hose. The main objective of Reliability Engineering on maintenance management is the effective maintenance planning of machine components inherent reliability value. Also, this research aims to reduce machine downtime maintenance that stems from machine breakdown, and to select preventive maintenance activities based on the engineering reliability for the machine parts. The first step of the research involves critical parts priority of Logistics Equipment. After that, we analyze the damage and risk level data by using Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) in order to calculate the suitable reliability parameter. The final step is to select the preventive maintenance task. As a result of this research, the failure rate of Logistics Equipment can be reduced 7.99% and the machine availability rate of Logistics Equipment is increased to 80.94% accordingly. Within this context, a maintenance program for Logistics Equipment is carried out based on Reliability Engineering concept. Applying the reliability engineering for maintenance planning & application on Logistics Equipment in Factory of High Pressure Hydraulic Hose showed that the main time between failures for this equipment and the probability of sudden equipment failures are decreased.
