    The objective of maintenance and reliability is to ensure production quality and output. A narrow bell curve for equipment failure indicates the equipment is suitable for preventative maintenance. "Infant mortality" refers to high initial failure rates in new products. Simulation can help evaluate maintenance options to make informed decisions. Operator maintenance allows earlier diagnosis while supplier maintenance provides quicker solutions. Managers can evaluate maintenance effectiveness by comparing production, availability, repair times, and failure rates to maintenance costs. Simple, standardized machine designs with easy access facilitate quicker maintenance.

    Chapter 17 Assignment

    1. What is the objective of maintenance and reliability?

    The objective of maintenance and reliability is to ensure the delivery capability in terms
    of quality and output of the production system.

    2. How does one identify a candidate for preventive maintenance?

    A narrow-shaped bell curve indicates the equipment is a good candidate for preventative
    maintenance since this implies the mean is relatively small.

    3. Explain the notion of "infant mortality" in the context of product reliability.

    In this context, infant mortality refers to the high initial failure rate that exists for many
    new products.

    4. How could simulation be a useful technique for maintenance problems?

    Simulation techniques enable evaluating and appraising various options so that informed
    maintenance decisions can be made.

    5. What is the trade-off between operator performed maintenance versus supplier performed
    maintenance?

    An operator is able to diagnose the machine’s symptoms earlier while the supplier’s
    maintenance personnel are able to quickly provide solutions.

    6. How can a manager evaluate the effectiveness of the maintenance function?

    1. Volume of production of acceptable quality products compared to maintenance costs


    2. Machine availability compared to theoretical capability
    3. Mean time to repair in the case of equipment breakdowns.
    4. Increase in mean time between failures related to the cost of preventative
    maintenance

    7. How does machine design contribute to either increasing or alleviating the maintenance
    problem?

    Simple designs and standard components with convenient and quick access allow the
    maintenance crew to quickly access problem areas.
