Task
You are required to create a Technical Report analysing and comparing the maintenance performance of these boilers. Analysis could be based on compliance to existing Preventive Maintenance Strategy, quantum Unplanned Work, types of faults found, adequacy of existing PM strategy, uptime, Cost of Maintenance (Planned vs. Unplanned), capital projects, best and worst performing sub-assets etc. to name a few. Comparison may be made among equivalent asset systems across the four boilers.
The report shall also contain your recommendations on actions to be taken to each boiler / sub- system to improve its performance. (Report length – Max. 2000 words, not considering those in tables and charts)
Microsoft Word - 4.docx 1. Maintenance Data Analytics You are assigned the task to review the maintenance effectiveness for four boilers operating at multiple locations of a local industry. Specifications and functions of the boilers are as follows. Asset Code Steam Produced (Tons/hr) Operating Pressure (kPa) Year of Manufacture Function Boiler A 60 1720 1965 Continuous operation (*) Boiler B 320 4200 1995 Supply steam at high pressure for turbine driving 39MW power generator and for sugar mill process Boiler C 200 1440 1976 Main boiler at site, supply steam to multiple small turbines driving power generators and steam for sugar mill process Boiler D 60 1440 1964 Low Pressure Boiler (Boiler A) – Only this boiler is operated throughout the year. Boilers B, C and D are in service only during the crushing season The maintenance data for five years (01-Jan-2014 to 31-Dec-2018) for these assets is provided. In individual tabs of each excel file, Functional Locations, Notifications, Work Orders, (Preventive) Maintenance Plans, Cost & damage codes are provided. Also provided are the Organisation’s risk matrix, definitions for work order types and master list of codes. While this is the best available source of truth, the data cannot be considered perfect. As a result, careful consideration and documentation of assumptions, proposals and justifications are required to support your findings.
