Reduction of equipment unplanned downtime during repairs and modernization based on strength analysis

In order to identify bottlenecks in the equipment operation and accumulate data for development of organizational technical measures reduce unplanned downtime, JSC “Vyksa Metallurgical Plant” keeps records downtime main technological equipment. All is recorded by production personnel automated analysis system workshop. Reliability specialists workshops have classified all units into criticality categories, which are presented form a matrix that includes two groups indicators: 1) severity consequences – safety, safety environment, losses, troubleshooting costs; 2) probability occurrence high, medium, low, or very low. When determining assessment an unit, most critical case failure worst one considered. Classification categories used rank terms reliability. The article considers criteria operability machine parts, as well software complexes strength exist today. Two been selected will be tools. due destruction parts was carried out on example wheel rolling shop Plant”, unloaded from automatic system. authors proposed directions application tools made increase their structural An potential economic effect introduction showed feasibility using this innovative approach leading reduction.
