Manufacturing operations are often carried out with one major goal in mind: to develop products that satisfy increasing customer demand for reliable and high-quality goods. Achieving this target is often hindered by factors such as machine downtime caused by faults in the machinery or production process which leads to time and financial losses. Hence, it is important for operation managers to ensure measures are employed at every stage of production to effectively address these factors and enable unhindered production. Some commonly used strategies include timely maintenance of machines and facilities and reliability analysis of components and processes. This paper assesses the influence of effective maintenance and reliability practices for operations management.
