SCHEME FOR OBJECTIVE EVALUATION AND COMPARATIVE RATING OF MAINTENANCE CREWS IN TECHNOLOGY ENRICHED INDUSTRIAL UNITS

Abstract

 In continuous production units, availability of plant & equipment plays a major role. The availability inturn depends upon how well the maintenance practices are evolved and followed. Generally in many of the process industries, the maintenance works are off-loaded to contracting agencies. The effectiveness of the contracting agencies results in more availability for plant and equipment leading to higher productivity. In this paper an attempt has been made to develop a model for the evaluation and rating of such maintenance contract agencies in continuous production units.
