The correlation between spare parts planning systems with the inventory level at PT Petrokimia Gresik
Published in Siska Noviaristanti, Contemporary Research on Management and Business, 2023
Industries are facing a lot of challenges such as optimization of operation and maintenance function due to environmental and safety requirement issues that are always developing. A maintenance strategy has been developed to support maintenance management implementation in industries. However, maintenance strategy is not well-defined in the literature. A few authors have defined it. Kelly (1997) defined maintenance strategy as a systematic approach to upkeep the facilities and equipment. It involves the identification, researching, and execution of many repairs, replacements, and inspection decisions. There are three types in the maintenance strategy, namely preventive maintenance, predictive maintenance, and corrective maintenance. Corrective maintenance requires the highest buffer stock because the activities are unscheduled and their failures are unpredictable. So, the company must carry out turnaround activities. PT Petrokimia Gresik can carry out turnaround activities about 8-12 times per year.

Enlightened North American companies have been striving for the past several decades to move from reactive to proactive maintenance. Planned maintenance is defined as maintenance activities which are performed to a predetermined schedule of activities. Planned maintenance activities evolve in four stages: reactive maintenance, preventive maintenance, predictive maintenance, and maintenance prevention. Whereas reactive maintenance entails waiting until something breaks before initiating maintenance activities, preventive maintenance involves periodic checking, adjusting, and replacing of parts to prevent equipment failure. Predictive maintenance is the measuring of process variables and equipment condition, so that potential problems can be forecast. Maintenance prevention, on the other hand, eliminates the need for maintenance through improved design of equipment. Most North American companies have established preventive maintenance systems, with procedures and schedules developed for at least their critical equipment. Although the scheduled procedures may not address the actual needs of the equipment or may have unreasonable intervals, at least some regular checks are scheduled and completed. In addition, many medium-to large-sized plants have experimented with predictive maintenance in the form of either vibration analysis, thermography, or lube oil analysis. A very select number of companies have also begun developing the concept of maintenance prevention.
Other Important Building Blocks of Maintenance Management

Maintenance and reliability engineering: Provides leadership, direction and technical expertise to optimize and sustain reliability, maintainability and Life Cycle Cost (LCC) of equipment and facilities. While maintenance engineering can’t affect performance directly, it provides the data needed to optimize maintenance and develop strategies that support continuous improvement. Among its activities we highlight: Root Cause Analysis (RCA) including failure analysis and reporting, reliability analysis (life data analysis—LDA, reliability and maintainability analysis—RAM, etc.), analysis of inspections and condition monitoring, evaluation of the integrity and extension of the useful lives of assets, prioritization of improvement projects, return on investment—(ROI) calculations and Life Cycle Cost—LCC, criticality analysis and its application, definition and application of maintenance strategy and policies, preparation of maintenance and inspection plans, measuring and improving the productivity of the maintenance team, elaboration and qualification of personnel in technical maintenance procedures, definition of methodology and tooling required to perform maintenance tasks, elaboration of improvement projects in equipment and facilities, identification of spare parts and recommendations for stock levels.

In general, maintenance strategies can be classified into three types: corrective maintenance, preventive maintenance, and CBM (Coraddu et al. 2016). Under the corrective maintenance strategy, the equipment or system is allowed to run until it fails and then it is repaired or replaced. Preventive maintenance (PM) is a strategy that involves routine repairs according to a defined time interval or usage level of the asset. CBM is a maintenance strategy that has attracted the attention of many researchers in recent years (Asuquo et al. 2021; Kimera and Nangolo 2022). This strategy stipulates that maintenance should only be performed when certain indicators show signs of performance degradation or impending failure. For this purpose, it incorporates all diagnosis, process and performance data, maintenance histories, operator logs and design information to make timely maintenance decisions. CBM provides the ability to increase the equipment reliability and improve the efficacy of maintenance operations based on the data gathered from condition monitoring systems. Condition monitoring systems include various tools that are used to record and evaluate different parameters such as vibration, acoustic, temperature, flow signal and oil colour. The data is then processed to determine the health status of the equipment and predict the remaining useful life (RUL) (Pascual 2015). An optimal maintenance plan is then prepared based on the predicted health condition of the equipment so that a preventive repair/replacement can be performed when there is a high risk of failure (Liao et al. 2006; Vachtsevanos et al. 2006).

In the maritime field, as in many other sectors, maintenance can usually be implemented regarding three different approaches: Preventive maintenance (PM): this type of maintenance is based on the operating hours of the item, and it is performed even if the item is not broken. These interventions are recommended by the supplier with reference to a certain number of operating hours. Ideally, with the PM, nothing breaks down.Corrective maintenance: it is made after the detection of a failure and aims to restore the initial condition of the item.Condition -based or Predictive maintenance (PdM): it is the most recent type of maintenance, where sensors are used to archive data about the system under consideration. These data are used in conjunction with analysed historical trends to continuously evaluate the system’s health and possibly predict a breakdown before it happens.
Analysis of Integrated Preventive Maintenance and Machine Failure in Stochastic Flexible Job Shop Scheduling with Sequence-dependent Setup Time
Published in Smart Science, 2022
Preventive maintenance refers to a set of tasks performed before a machine breakdown. Researchers consider different types of maintenance approaches. Wang’s [1] survey showed seven types of preventive maintenance (PM) approaches considered by various researchers to restore the machine to as-good-as new condition. These approaches are periodic, age-dependent, reliability-based failure limit, sequential, repair limit, repair number computing, and reference time preventive maintenance. Random machine breakdown may cause various unexpected problems in the system, such as tool failure, unexpected plant shut down, part broken during operation, and other unforeseen issues, which affect the productivity of the manufacturing system and increase the delay. Simultaneous consideration of maintenance and unexpected break down in scheduling problems will result in real-time scheduling problems. Therefore, emerging these aspects is an essential direction in the job shop scheduling problem.
