Validation of Maintenance Schedule and Parameters for Critical Equipment
in a Textile Factory through Regression Analysis of System Data and Time
Between Maintenance Operations
Abstract
Validating maintenance strategies is crucial for industrial equipment
reliability. Regression analysis establishes correlations between plans
and Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF). This study validates maintenance
schedules and parameters for critical equipment in a textile factory
using regression analysis of system data and maintenance intervals.
Employing the Monte Carlo Simulation technique, it analyzes
relationships between input variables (maintenance activities, equipment
age, operating conditions) and MTBF. An R-squared value of over 0.70
confirms the significance of the regression model. Survey design
identifies critical departments, and real-time equipment failure data
supports the methodology. Regression analysis yields a significant model
(R-squared = 85.56%) with 18 input variables contributing to MTBF
variance. Sensitivity analysis reveals their hierarchical impact.
Conclusions emphasize regression analysis’s efficacy in validating
maintenance strategies, showcasing the input variables’ significance.
Findings underscore tailored maintenance plans and suggest predictive
analytics expansion. Recommendations include adaptive strategies,
predictive analytics integration, optimal maintenance intervals
determination, cost-benefit analyses, and spare parts inventory
optimization.
