Resumo

Purpose: The study aims to clarify the importance of reliability-based maintenance (RCM) in the continuity of production operations. And the importance of determining the optimal period between one maintenance and another at the lowest cost, as maintenance is important in maintaining the continued operation of machines in the manner in which they were designed, which means extending the productive life of the machine and eliminating machine downtime

Design and Methodology: The study followed a descriptive analytical approach, where the work of photocopying devices in one of the Iraqi educational institutions was studied, and by referring to the work record of those devices, actual data on malfunctions and downtime periods resulting from those malfunctions and the cost of repairing each malfunction and each device were obtained

Findings: The methods used to determine the best period between one periodic maintenance and another still need a lot of experiments in order to reach the best methodology that can be relied upon, and the use of statistical analysis to analyze costs (maintenance, repair and downtime) and simulation can identify and determine the best period between one maintenance and another

Implications: The study provides an in-depth look at the possibility of using statistical methods and simulation to solve the problem of equipment downtime and the losses that institutions are exposed to as a result. The methods used to determine the best period between one periodic maintenance and another still require a lot of experimentation in order to reach the best methodology that can be relied upon.
