Q1. What are the stages in the lifecycle management of any machinery? (List the stages in the lifecycle management of any machinery, Explain what is done in each stage , you may use examples if needed.) 1, 9
Answer:
Asset Life Cycle Management
Every asset has its own life cycle. The managerial efficiency and effectiveness lies with the fact as to how well they utilise the asset within its life cycle. The maintenance methods are used to keep the machines working to its optimum efficiency levels within that life cycle and obtain maximum benefits. With state of art machineries being deployed for production, the demand to produce high quality products to high volumes, demands the best maintenance management system over the life cycle of the machineries. .


Q2. Write short notes on:
  • Fault tree analysis for improving maintenance effectiveness
  • Routine maintenance
  • Problems in maintenance scheduling
  • Wrench Time

Answer: Fault Tree Analysis
.
For improving maintenance effectiveness one of the tools used is the fault tree analysis. In electrical and control systems, failures are linked to certain physical portions of the equipment. For instance, non operation of a set of wiring combinations in an electrical system may result in certain types of failures. To know the root cause of the problem, it may be necessary to isolate the circuit so that the failed segment could be identified immediately.
A fault tree is therefore a network diagram of the circuitry that facilitates tracing the component failure to specific portion of the network, thus helping maintenance personnel to directly attend the problem.

Q3. Why detail analysis and use of different methods are essential requirements for taking suitable decisions on the equipment replacements? Explain briefly these methodologies used.      
                                                           
(Reasons for detail analysis and use of different Methods:Decision Tree method-2 marks, Minimum Annual Cost method-2 marks, Barnes Formula method-2 marks, MAPI Method-2 marks) 10 marks
Answer-3

The method of replacement and its analysis is similar to those adopted while procuring the equipments under original investment plans of the project, except for the following differences:
The original investment analysis was made from purely investment and returns basis, whereas in case of replacement the estimation will also consider the residual serviceable life the existing equipment.


Q4. Explain briefly the ABC classification and reasons behind recommending ABC and VED          classifications for managing inventory of spare parts for maintenance?            
                                                           
(Explanation of ABC classification including class-6 marks, items and their features   reasons behind
recommending ABC and VED classifications for managing inventory-4 marks) 10 marks

Answer-4
Classification of Inventories
Let us discuss about the inventory control methodologies that are practiced and see which common method out of these could be adopted in inventory management of spare parts. Inventory of production items, components, and aggregates are classified into groups based on their relative importance with respect to availability, the economy or the lead time for procurement. Inventory items are classified and controlled based on some criterions.


Q5. Explain briefly the universal principles used for improving productivity of the maintenance       management                                     
                                                                       
 (Scientific principle-1 mark, Measurement and control-2 mark  , Activity and responsibility-1 mark, Customer and service relationship-2 marks, Crew size-2 marks, Timelines-2 marks) 10 marks
Answer-5

Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is a business process improvement method, developed from the perspective of maintenance management. TPM concentrates on productivity improvement, primarily by way of maximizing the availability of equipment.

Scientific principle
Best productivity results can be achieved when each worker has a definite job to do in a definite way within a definite time. Here the Frederick Taylor‟s principle of scientific management can be applied to all tasks and hence maintenance can also adopt the principles laid out by Taylor.



Q6. What is meant by ‘Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)’? What are its constituents and   objectives served? List the OEE Losses?
 (Concept-2 marks, Components/constituents-3 marks,  objectives served by OEE, calculation of OEE-3 marks,   Listing of OEE losses-2 marks) 10 marks
Answer-6

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)

The central concept of TPM philosophy is to maximize the “Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). The success of TPM program is related to recognizing OEE as an important measure for maintenance management OEE is defined as the product of the availability of the equipment and the overall performance efficiency resulting in the quality output, with zero defects.
