| dc.description.abstract | For an industry, implementing the right maintenance strategy is useful in meeting the current challenges of manufacturing companies that are cost, delivery time and quality. The process of determining the right maintenance strategy requires the consideration of multiple factors and due to this the process is becomes a complex decision problem. In this research, first the maintenance system of the selected case company is assessed using structured questionnaire and documentation review that are vital for the study. Then the collected questionnaire is analyzed using SPSS and the result shows there is poor implementation of maintenance system in the organization. Also from documentation review the downtime records of previous budget years has been taken and analyzed. The result shows that a major downtime is related to machinery breakdown causing loss of raw materials estimated around 20million birr with in three budget year. Therefore, in this study a team of experts are organized to make a decision in selecting a maintenance strategy to overcome this problem of the organization. For resolving the complex decision problem in selecting a maintenance strategy among proposed alternatives an MCDA tool Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is selected. The research findings show that among the selected main criteria value add, cost and implementation capability, implementation capability is given the highest priority by the decision makers. Also out of the five alternative maintenance strategies proposed Reliability Centered Maintenance strategy found to be the right maintenance strategy for the case company. Finally, this research proposed the steps in implementing the selected maintenance strategy from theoretical aspects. | en_US |
