• To understand the concepts of Total Productive Maintenance

UNIT I INTRODUCTION

Reliability function – MTBF – MTTF – mortality curve – availability -Maintainability.

UNIT II FAILURE DATA ANALYSIS

Repair time distributions – exponential, normal, log normal, gamma, and Weibull – reliability data requirements – Graphical evaluation.

UNIT III RELIABILITY PREDICTION

Failure rate estimates – Effect of environment and stress – Series and Parallel systems – RDB analysis – Standby Systems – Complex Systems.

UNIT IV RELIABILITY MANAGEMENT

Reliability demonstration testing – Reliability growth testing – Duane curve -Risk assessment – FMEA, Fault tree.

UNIT V TOTAL PRODUCTIVE MAINTENANCE

Causes of Machine Failures – Downtime – Maintenance policies – Restorability predictions – Replacement models – Spares provisioning -Maintenance management – Total Productive Maintenance – Maximizing equipment effectiveness – Organizing for TPM implementation – Implementation – TPM small group activities.
