Abstract
Abstract
This paper shows the application of Discrete Event Simulation to study the effect of proposed maintenance strategies to the availability. The simulation study was conducted on a Surface Mount Technology (SMT) line. The model is built in the Discrete Event Simulation software WITNESS 14 to imitate this selected case study line to test out two proposed maintenance strategies. The first proposed strategy consists of Corrective Maintenance (CM) task only whereas the second proposed strategy is the introduction of Preventive Maintenance (PM) to the line. The effect of the two cases to the availability of each machine and system availability were verified with the simulation model to determine the most optimal solution. Although the simulation testing did not show improvement in availability for all station after the introduction of PM, the increment in system availability indicate that PM is the most optimal maintenance strategy for the SMT line.
