INTRODUCTION

Machine breakdown analysis is important for several reasons, as it plays a crucial role in ensuring the efficient and reliable operation of machines. Analyzing machine breakdowns isn't just about fixing what is broken. It is about optimizing the entire production process.

What are the reasons to do the analysis?

The Machine Breakdown Analysis helps us to minimize the Downtime so as to be able to increase the Overall Equipment Effectiveness. Reduction in downtime helps save a lot of cost on spares, consumable and man-hours.

Since the reduced downtime makes a lot of man-hours available for taking up new improvement projects, it helps to increase the reliability of the equipment significantly. It helps in reduced quality defects and cost of rework.

Improved machines become more safe themselves and for the humans working on them.

With the advent of IoT, the Internet of Things, it has become very easy to collect and collate various parameters from the machines. These parameters can be current, pressure, flow, vibration etc. By analyzing the trend of these data, appropriate corrective and preventive actions can be taken to further reduce the down time and improve OEE.

By making the machine available for more time for production, the actual run time of the machines can be optimized, thereby reducing the consumption of electricity and other resources.
