CONCEPT OF EQUIPMENT
RELIABILITY
Why do Equipment chronic losses arises and not decreases? The
reason is, in brief low equipment reliability. Reliability here means
the probability that facilities, equipment, and system will function as
required during a specified period under a given condition .can also
be termed the probability that no problems(defects or breakdown)
will occurs during given period. Low reliability leads to the
occurrence of failures or defects, because their occurrence cycle is
short ,the losses become chronic.
CLASSIFICATIONS OF RELIABILITY
Reliability consists of INHERENT RELIABILITY and the USE RELIABILITY
.The inherent reliability results from the design, becoming fixed at
the stage of design and manufacturing. The use reliability results
from the way the equipment is used ,arising poor usage condition or
method of use.
INHERENT AND USE RELIABILITY CAN
BE SUBDIVIDED AS FOLLOWS AND
OVERALL RELIABILITY WILL BE THEIR
CUMULATIVE PRODUCT.
INHERENT RELIABILITY
DESIGN RELIABILITY
MANUFACTURING RELIABILITY
INSTALLATION RELIABILITY
USE RELIABILITY
OPERATIONAL RELIABILITY
MAINTENANCE RELIABILITY
1.DESIGN RELIABILITY
Steaming from design, their reliability is affected by the following
factor
Jigs /tools unmatched to parts shapes
Problems in the mechanism itself
Problems in the selection of parts
Problems in the detection of parts
Short parts life
2.MANUFACTURING RELIABILITY
This reliability derives from poor manufacturing or assembly of parts
,i.e problem occur because of incomplete manufacturing/assembly of
parts. They are due to the following factors,
•Problems in the accuracy of parts size
•Problem in the parts shapes
•Problem in assembly arrangements
3.INSTALLATION RELIABILITY
This reliability is affected by poor installation arrangements,
problems occur because of incomplete or improper installation due to
the following factors:
•Occurrence of vibration due to poor installation arrangements
•Insufficient levelness
•Incomplete piping/wiring/fittings due to poor installation
arrangements
4.OPERATION RELIABILITY
This reliability is affected by poor operational behavior. They are due
to the following factor:
Operation errors
Setup and adjustment error
Lack of through preparation of basic condition
Use condition error
5.MAINTENANCE RELIABILITY
This reliability affected by poor maintenance quality. Problem occurs
because of incomplete maintenance ,due to such factors as:
Parts replacement error
Poor assembly accuracy
STUDY ON THE MANNER OF USING
EQUIPMENT
Generally, problems resulting from poor USE RELIABILITYS are many
,while those from poor design reliability are few. When breakdown or
defects occur ,it is necessary to examine to which type of reliability
decline they are related. Low reliability is considered to arise because
research on the manner of using equipment is insufficient. This
research is essentially the study of the expertise in using the
equipment, consisting of technology for using the equipment
skillfully and to optimum effect.
To develop the technology for optimal us of equipment, research is
required on the conditions to be possessed by equipment to attain
better quality ,to raise the utilization ration(time ,speed),and to
enhance operability /maintainability ,and research on the basic
arrangement regarding the equipment proper and peripheral devices
to obtain best performance from the equipment. Technology for
skillful use of equipment necessitates research on the role of the
operator in operation, adjustment, detection and handling of
abnormalities to keep the equipment in an optimum state.
STUDY ON THE MANNER OF USING
EQUIPMENT
CONCLUSION
Even if the technology for optimum use of equipment is fairly
advanced ,problem occur if the capability of the operators who use
the equipment is insufficient, and they do not perform their work as
they should. Conversely, even if the operation skill of operators are
excellent and they perform their work properly, breakdown may
unavoidable if the equipment itself has the problems. In either case,
effectiveness will be halved. Therefore ,it is necessary for both
operator capability and equipment condition to be on the same level,
just like two opposing wheels on a car .only then overall efficiency
improvement of a MAN-MACHINE system become possible.
