Maintenance Dynamics, Tools for Machines Functionality in a Competitive Environment

Maintenance dynamics as tools for machines functionality in a competitive environment is being discussed. The discussion centers on models formulated that assist in carrying out comprehensive maintenance activities plan as at when due even at the point when machines are being stressed to meet up with customers’ demand. The formulated models were tested using a polyethene bag production machines for a period of three months. Data of records before the introduction of the developed models and when the models were introduced were collected and analyzed using the SPSS16.0 package. The analysis carried out shown that machines’ functionality increased despite the ageing factor encountered as the developed models were used as compared to the past machines’ functionality.
