Abstract

A preventive maintenance schedule on 2015 at CDC Manufacturing Corporation plant was implemented to reduce the occurrences of breakdowns, however, annual overall maintenance costs were PhP 6,362,946.41, and in fact increased by Php 293,313.01 from 2014. Aside from this, there is only about 15.74% reduction of machine occurrences, which is short from the goal of 25% and only 56.62% of the prepared schedule was performed, not able to reach the target of 85%. With these difficulties, the study aimed to reduce the total annual maintenance costs by PhP 1,517, 408.42 to reduce the occurrences of breakdowns by 25% and to achieve at least an 85% accomplishment rate from the prepared maintenance schedule. Why-why analysis was used to identify the root causes that contribute to the ineffective preventive maintenance schedule. Proposed actions to address these root causes include following a prepared maintenance checklist per type of machine when conducting preventive maintenance and alternative schedules to the current PM schedule. Three alternative schedules were proposed, and they were evaluated through overall maintenance costs. The proposed PM schedule based on maintenance costs was chosen. With the implementation of this alternative, annual frequency of breakdowns can be reduced by 36.14% and there is a 100% accomplishment rate.
