Abstract

The optimization of maintenance remains still a challenge in food manufacturing since preventive maintenance is often scheduled at fixed intervals without considering the criticality of components and the real characteristics of failures. Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) and Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) are two popular tools for planning maintenance. However, only a limited number of studies have combined the two methods to determine the reliability-based maintenance intervals of continuous frying machines based on real industrial failure data. This study propose is to integrate maintenance framework with combining the FMECA and RCM to identify critical components, select appropriate maintenance tasks and define maintenance intervals according to the components’ reliability. The framework was implemented on a continuous frying machine at PT. XYZ and found the wire mesh to be the most critical component. The suggested maintenance intervals were 35 days for the drum filter, 150 days for the circulation pump, 67 days for the pedal, and 14 days for the wire mesh. The Time-Directed Maintenance (TMD) task recommended a preventive replacement interval of 180 days for the circulation pump. The proposed framework provides a systematic approach of maintenance decision making in food manufacturing and demonstrates its practical effectiveness by improving the machine reliability from 1.6% to 13.3% and machine availability from 55.1% to 99.8%.
