Software application for maintenance system: A combination of maintenance methods in printing industry

In printing industry where the production is running for 24 hours, the performance of machine is very important to be maintained. When the machine is breakdown, the production will stop and disturb the production process. Therefore, the maintenance system should be managed effectively to solve those problems. The objective of this paper is to propose a combination analysis of several maintenance methods using a software to optimize the maintenance policy. There are five maintenance methods used in this paper, consists of: Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM), Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), Reliability Centered Spare part (RCS), Life Cycle Cost LCC, and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). The result of experiment show that the software can be used to optimize of maintenance policy with combination five maintenance methods. The advantages of using maintenance software application are reduce the manual calculation time, simplify calculation, increase the accuracy by prevent the error system and support the proper decision for maintenance policy.
