“…Following this, each identified failure mode is evaluated for its potential effects, considering factors such as safety implications, environmental impacts, operational disruptions, and regulatory non-compliance [49]. Criticality analysis is then conducted to quantify the risk associated with each failure mode [50,51]. This analysis employs a risk prioritization number (RPN) as the criticality metric.…”

This paper presents a detailed risk assessment framework tailored for retrofitting ship structures towards eco-friendliness. Addressing a critical gap in current research, it proposes a comprehensive strategy integrating technical, environmental, economic, and regulatory considerations. The framework, grounded in the Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) approach, adeptly combines quantitative and qualitative methodologies to assess the feasibility and impact of retrofitting technologies. A case study on ferry electrification, highlighting options like fully electric and hybrid propulsion systems, illustrates the application of this framework. Fully Electric Systems pose challenges such as ensuring ample battery capacity and establishing the requisite charging infrastructure, despite offering significant emission reductions. Hybrid systems present a flexible alternative, balancing electric operation with conventional fuel to reduce emissions without compromising range. This study emphasizes a holistic risk mitigation strategy, aligning advanced technological applications with environmental and economic viability within a strict regulatory context. It advocates for specific risk control measures that refine retrofitting practices, guiding the maritime industry towards a more sustainable future within an evolving technological and regulatory landscape.

“…The maintenance tasks are preferably carried out during periods of low demand to minimise significant losses in production and, ultimately, to fulfil client demands. Operating planning and maintenance scheduling decisions are interdependent and should be optimised together [49][50][51][52][53][54][55].…”

“…Failure mode effect integration (FMECA) analysis may support design, manufacturing, maintenance, and other policies to increase reliability, maintainability, and supportability. For instance, RCM methods include FMEA and a key element of the analysis (Figure 3) [55]. Additionally, the FMEA reporting may be utilised to give information about the reliability of a consolidated location.…”

Due to the high demand for quality goods and products, most manufacturing industries run their equipment and manufacturing teams more than expected to meet the demands. However, they do not regularly conduct maintenance and reliability checks to ascertain the industry's well-being. Operating their manufacturing systems and processes to achieve the requisite production rates of high-quality goods is a constant challenge for manufacturing industries in Nigeria due to a need for maintainability. To improve performance, this paper recently reviewed Nigeria's manufacturing industries' maintainability and reliability. The study examined articles that cut across, Maintainability scheduling in the production system with the analysis of Industry 4.0 Technologies, the reliability optimisation in the manufacturing industry in Nigeria, and the effects of sustainable maintainability and reliability implementation on manufacturing systems and the sustainability issues. Furthermore, the research highlighted the manufacturing industries' challenges regarding maintainability and reliability. Some of these challenges are insecurity, lousy infrastructure, inadequate company growth plans, and irregular taxation, which affect the day-to-day running of the industry. One of the most significant issues facing the manufacturing sector today is inventory management; nonetheless, many small manufacturers still manage their stocks by hand. Furthermore, this study provides possible suggestions for a sustainable way forward for these identified problems. Nigerian manufacturing industries might adopt Industry 4.0 technology, which will assist in successfully adopting total preventive maintenance as a strategy and culture. This article recommends a maintenance culture in the manufacturing industry. It also recommends self-auditing and benchmarking as ideal preconditions for total productive maintenance.

Reliability optimization is a process aimed at improving the effectiveness and efficiency of maintenance activities within an organization. This optimization can concern various aspects, including failure prevention, resource management, cost reduction, and improving the operational availability of equipment. In this work, our study aims to implement a comprehensive maintenance strategy for the 1600T press at Algal[Formula: see text] company with the primary objectives of preventing breakdowns, minimizing unplanned downtime, optimizing productivity, extending the lifespan of equipment, ensuring safety, and improving the competitiveness and profitability of the company. The problem of reliability and availability of the 1600T press at the Algal[Formula: see text] company can be addressed by a systematic approach to industrial maintenance. By adopting a holistic approach to industrial maintenance, Algal[Formula: see text] company can improve the reliability and availability of its equipment, thereby reducing unplanned downtime and optimizing overall productivity. By systematically applying FMECA to the 1600T press, the optimization efforts become data-driven and focused on addressing the most critical risks. This, in turn, significantly contributes to optimizing the reliability and availability of the equipment, reducing unplanned downtime, and enhancing overall operational efficiency.
