Abstract

A case study of an Indian medium scale manufacturing industry is being conducted to investigate the contribution of maintenance practices toward enhancing quality and productivity. An assessment of business performance indicators has been carried out at the auto-parts manufacturing unit to illustrate the achievements realised through adoption of strategic maintenance initiatives. During the assessment, the assessment team identified a number of issues for maintenance improvement to realise business improvements in the organisation. As a result, phase-by-phase maintenance implementing practices has been carried out in the case study in order to reap significant benefits in terms of enhanced MTBF and reduced MTTR. The results revealed a significant improvement in performance by improving OEE in the organisation. The systematic implementation of maintenance practices also resulted in a further improvement in MTBF and a reduction in MTTR. The study emphasises the significance of maintenance practice implementation to achieve enhanced organisational performance.
