Breakdown Analysis of Cutting Facility in a Manufacturing industry

  Ratheesh P.G,  Praveensal C.J

In this thesis work breakdown maintenance of cutting machine has been carried out using the technique Root Cause Analysis. It has been used to rectify faults causing breakdown and thereby improve productivity of the machine. In this project methodology of breakdown maintenance has been applied and analyzed. It is the process of identifying causal factors using a structured approach with techniques that will provide a focus for identifying and resolving problems. Tools that assist individuals or groups to identify the root cause of problems are known as root cause analysis tools. Every equipment failure happens due to a number of reasons. There is a definite progression of actions and the resulting consequences that lead to a failure. Root cause for productivity and its related problems needs to be analyzed as it’s a complicated process especially in multistage manufacturing. It shows how the solutions will prevent the problem from recurring. The Root Cause Analysis methods could be used according to prevalent conditions and situations. It can be observed that after application of Breakdown Analysis, the productivity of the cutting machine has improved.

Keywords- Breakdown Analysis, Cutting, Productivity, Root cause analysis.
