The Preventive Maintenance Schedule: A Case Study at Aman Sales and Services Sdn. Bhd. and Ladang Sabah Palm Oil Mill.

Abstract:

Maintenance is crucial to system performance and reliability of a machine for an industry. Machine maintenance system in small and medium industries in Malaysia usually consists of manual file management system, which records all the conducted maintenance works. However, a maintenance system should be more complex to include the scheduling of maintenance activities. This paper presents the findings of studies on the implementation of preventive maintenance schedule conducted at Aman Sales And Services Sdn. Bhd. and Ladang Sabah Palm Oil Mill both located in Sabah, Malaysia. In this study, data form previous maintenance works or activities were collected from both companies. The data were then analyzed. The analysis indicates that reduction in time can be obtained by combining similar or repetitive tasks guided by recommendation from the machines’ manuals. This analysis provides foundation for developing an improved preventive maintenance schedule for each company. The new preventive maintenance schedules are found to be able to reduce the breakdown time ranging from as low as 25% to as high as 50%. This reduction signifies the efficiency of the proposed maintenance schedule.
