The ultimate price can be paid if the maintenance philosophy and culture is not right.However if machine reliability is increased then production can be increased and thenthe nice prospect of finding new customers for the more products that you can make,the price of manufacturing is reduced thus profitability is increased. The following aregenuine graphs that were submitted to ERIKS from an aluminium casting and rollingcompany.This customer applied all forms of good maintenance practices to including ReliabilityCentred Maintenance, Total Production Maintenance, Kaizen, ContinuousImprovement Teams, Crosby and Condition Based Maintenance. This took totalcommitment from the operators through to the managing director. This plant is nowone of the most efficient in the group though its machinery is one of the oldest. Thesuccess of a good maintenance regime can be measured in the change in failure modeof machines over time; here is the failure mode graph for electric motors at the samealuminium company.
One can see that the percentage of units that failed has been reduced from 50% to20% and that almost 80% of all motors are now sent in for an overhaul as opposed to afailure compared with 40% ten years prior. In that time production has increased andnew plant has been purchased thus increasing the number of motors on site. We canlook at the total number of motor repairs.The total reduction in the number of repairs is evident.
