Abstract
Authors present a case study of refinery plant based on the principle of preventive maintenance of machinery applications. This is to increase the availability and improve the reliability and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) of the machines. Data collected showed that high cost of maintenance is quite high caused by non-standard maintenance and no prioritization of machine maintenance. Accordingly, the researchers proposed a maintenance program based on reliability engineering with failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA).
FMEA was the first brought to analyze the root causes of machine failure and to evaluate the risk priority number (RPN). The data was performed preventive maintenance plan standardized the maintenance system in order to optimize maintenance task and maximize the efficiency of machinery. After applying FMEA, the result showed that the chance of failure in equipment was very low after the scheduled maintenance plan and opportunities to detect damage in advance was moderate to high. Therefore, the equipment with a moderate to high risk is likely more damage than the first round of maintenance.
