Case summary:
Company F is the multi-billion-dollar subsidiary of Company P. Company F avoids costly downtime with the preventive maintenance of equipment. According to Person T, who is the vice president of Company F in City F, one percent of downtime would result in negative annual profit impact of $200,000. However, they are successful in maintaining less downtime than the excellent benchmark.
They utilize energy efficiency. This is all because of the effective maintenance department, which perform actively. “Run Right” is the method that teaches, “identify and do” to employees that is the part of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) program.
To determine: The advantages and disadvantages of giving more responsibility to operator for machine maintenance.

- QUESTION 6 (MAINTENANCE AND RELIABILITY: COMPARING PREVENTIVE AND BREAKDOWN MAINTENANCE COSTS) 17.24 Wharton Manufacturing Company operates its 23 large and expensive grinding and lathe machines from 7 A.M. to 11 P.M., 7 days a week. For the past year, the firm has been under contract with Simkin and Sons for daily preventive maintenance (lubrication, cleaning, inspection, and so on). Simkin's crew works between 11 P.M. and 2 A.M. so as not to interfere with the daily manufacturing crew. Simkin charges $645 per week for this service. Since signing the maintenance contract, Wharton Manufacturing has noted an average of only three breakdowns per week. When a grinding or lathe machine does break down during a working shift, it costs Wharton about $250 in lost production and repair costs. After reviewing past breakdown records (for the period before signing a preventive maintenance contract with Simkin and Sons), Wharton's production manager was able to summarize the following patterns: 1…arrow_forwardMost often, researchers aim to design studies with large amounts of power.
