consequences in the production for analyzing maintenance improvements. The
main purpose of the formula was to provide better knowledge of which production
sections or equipment that has largest economical advantages when having a high
availability. This can be a powerful tool when deciding were in the production
investment should be pointed. It can also be used to evaluate different production
sites were the difference in stop costs makes it impossible to compare them by
using availability as a measurement.
The thesis resulted in a maintenance system which was developed, implemented
and deployed for preventive and corrective maintenance. The repair technicians
were educated in the developed maintenance program as well as in theories
regarding maintenance. Models were also developed for measuring and evaluating
the results of maintenance modifications.
Since the system was deployed at the end of the project it was never included to
review the result of the maintenance system. After continuous work with the
maintenance system there will be a lot of data available which will help with
analyzing and evaluating the result. It is therefore suggested that the design and
structure of the maintenance system is further analyzed and evaluated in a fallowup
study. There is also more work to be done by further developing and testing the
economical availability formula that could be considered to be in a test phase.
