Application of Reliability-Centered Maintenance for Tugboat Kresna 315 Cooling Systems

Abstract

Reliability-Centered Maintenance uses the risk management principle of a component’s failure so that the type of maintenance can be determined properly. By using an appropriate type of maintenance, the possibility of failures in a component can be detected and prevented. The proper usage of Reliability-Centered Maintenance can have a positive impact on cost savings, both maintenance costs and repair costs, as well as reducing the consequences of failures. The object of this research is the cooling system aboard Tugboat Kresna 315. The cooling system is an important system on a ship, which is designed to prevent the main engine from overheating. The aim of this research is to apply Reliability-Centered Maintenance methods on the cooling system of Tugboat Kresna 315 and determine the types of maintenance tasks required. The results of Reliability-Centered Maintenance identified 16% of the overall failures to be a type of hidden failure while 86% were identified as evident failures, thus allowing the maintenance division to perform maintenance activities in accordance with the planned maintenance system on each tugboat.

The Evaluation of Maturity Level on Heavy Equipment Maintenance Management According to ISO 55001:2014

“…Meanwhile, in the power plant sector, asset management is also applied through the performance indicator and balanced scorecard methods (Silva, 2020) [11]. The usefulness of a maturity model in an organization depends on the efforts being made to describe the entire field and business processes, determine the appropriate criteria to reach a certain maturity level, and determine the methods and techniques to achieve this [12], [13], [14], [15].…”

The Maintenance Task Allocation Analysis in Steam Power Plant: Case Study on Closed Cooling Water System

“…The application of RCM is expected to produce optimal maintenance planning and maintenance intervals to prevent damage to equipment (assets) which can have a major impact on the operational system of the equipment and impact on the costs incurred to deal with the damage, reduce breakdown rates and system production downtime [10]. RCM is known to be a well-known method and is often used to maintain operational efficiency in important industrial sectors such as the power plant industry [11] [12], railway industry [13], oil and gas industry [14][15], and marine industry [16][17][18]. The application of RCM to a steam power plant according to Afefy (2010) can reduce labor costs for maintenance by 25.2% and savings of about 80% of the total downtime cost [19].…”
