Cost of poor maintenance

Abstract

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to propose and discuss cost of poor maintenance (CoPM), as a concept for managing the improvement of maintenance performance within manufacturing industry. Design/methodology/approach -The paper is based on literature studies and two workshops with representatives from industry and academia. Findings -CoPM is proposed as a new concept for maintenance performance improvement. The concept is derived from established practices in quality costing and hence it should be easily accepted in industry. Practical implications -By using CoPM as a concept for maintenance performance development, manufacturing companies may identify the potential financial impact of the development work. The CoPM concept should provide a good viewpoint for identification of deficiencies in the maintenance performance within a given manufacturing system. Originality/value -By adopting a well-known measure from the research area of quality development, a financial measure for maintenance is proposed in this paper. The measure shows which parts of the maintenance costs are justified and which costs relate to poorly performed maintenance. In this way a more balanced view of the financial contribution of maintenance activities may be achieved, even at board level of the company.

Penilaian Risiko pada Mesin Pendingin di Kapal Penangkap Ikan Dengan Pendekatan FMEA

“…Dalam sebuah industri, perawatan merupakan aktivitas yang tidak dapat dihindari, yang tentunya membutuhkan biaya dalam melaksanakan kegiatan perawatan. Dari total biaya produksi dalam sebuah industry, rata-rata diatas 15 % alokasi biaya untuk perawatan, biaya tersebut dapat menjadi tinggi dikarenakan penambahan biaya karena tidak adanya rencana perawatan atau perawatan preventif yang kurang baik sehingga akan menyebabkan total biaya produksi menjadi naik [10]. Perencanakan perawatan bagi sebuah system, perlu diidentifikasi komponen pada system tersebut yang dapat menyebabkan kegagalan system, bagaimana moda kegagalannya dan apa akibat yang ditimbulkan dari kegagalan tersebut.…”

“…Dalam penilaian RPN, nilai yang ditetapkan pada tiga index skala kualitatif ditafsirkan sebagai angka. Informasi dikumpulan dengan skala kualitatif dan dan digunakan pada skala kuantitatif dengan sifat yang berbeda dari yang pertama [10].…”

“…Dengan kondisi operasional yang cukup panjang mengakibatkan keandalan komponennya menjadi berkurang seiring bertambahnya waktu pengoperasian. Dari total biaya produksi dalam sebuah industri, rata-rata diatas 15 % alokasi biaya untuk perawatan, biaya tersebut dapat menjadi tinggi dikarenakan penambahan biaya karena tidak adanya rencana perawatan atau perawatan preventif yang kurang baik sehingga akan menyebabkan total biaya produksi menjadi naik [10]. Penelitian ini mengaplikasikan penggunaan FMEA untuk mengidentifikasi peluang terjadinya kegagalan pada sistem pendingin di Kapal Penangkap Ikan.…”

Key Strategies to Overcome Cost Overruns Issues in Building Maintenance Management

“…Studies have demonstrated few problems had arisen as the resources budgeted by the management are deficient as it unable to support the maintenance programs and have caused cost overruns. The low budget and cost overruns will result in lower building performance and increased risk of poor management of a building (Ali, Kamaruzzaman, Sulaiman, & Cheong Peng, 2010; Au-Yong, Ali, & Ahmad, 2014a; Salonen & Deleryd, 2011). It is necessary to unveil the real practice of the maintenance budgeting to determine the causes of ill-budgeted of maintenance resources.…”

Spreadsheet simulation-based optimization for personnel capacity requirement in breakdown maintenance

“…Although maintenance function is important to support manufacturing system, it is often considered as a cost centre rather than a competitive advantage [4]. Commonly, the annual cost of maintenance runs between 7-15 % of the investment [3].…”
