The strategy improvement of the engine maintenance

Abstract

PT. A is a company engaged in the manufacture of Crude Palm Oil (CPO) and Palm Kernel Oil (PKO). Constraints faced by PT. A is no planned scheduling of machine maintenance. Therefore, it is necessary to design a maintenance strategy in the form of a machine maintenance schedule to overcome the problem, as well as an analysis of the causes of failure of engine components that are often damaged. This problem is solved by using the Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) methods in determining repair priorities so that a more optimal treatment plan is obtained. The Pareto diagram is used to determine the most critical machine in the RCM method. The results of the pareto diagram obtained by the screw press machine are the most critical machines. Furthermore, the results of the application of RCM methods obtained components that must be treated regularly (time directed).
