Note: Attempt all the questions and submit this assignment on or before 31 October, 2016 to
the coordinator of your study centre.
1. What is reliability centred maintenance? What are the important steps involved in
implementingitin anyplant?
2. What is the importance of maintenance budgeting? Give the advantage of Zero Based
Budget.
4. Define hazard rate the discuss the three periods or regions of the life cycle of a unit or
device as illustrated bythe bath-tubcurve.
5. How can be questionnaire for Maintenance Audit prepared? What is the main difference
of audition result areas compared to auditing management processes?

Answer:
Here,
Total number of components in series =25
Reliability of each component = 0.996
Hence, Reliability of remote control unit
= (0.996)25
=0.905
Now,
For Desired reliability of 0.996 for 3000 hours of operation:
System Reliability, R(t)=0.996 and Hours of operation, t=3000
Assuming that the time to failure for each component is exponentially distributed,
We have, R(t)=e- t
Where, = system hazard rate
Or, h(t)=
Now, Since we know that :
h(t)=
where,
h(t)=hazard rate,
f(t)=failure density and
r(t)=reliability for each component (supplied as 0.999 by question) ,
We get,
f(t)=
or, f(t)=
or, f(t)=
Hence, required failure rate f(t)= 5.328 10-8 per hour.
Hazard rate is the measure of instantaneous rate of failure, thatis, the probability of a failure
between time t and t+t given that there were no failures up to time t. The concept of
hazard rate is more often used in reliability and maintenance studies and denoted by h(t) or
Z(t).
Mathematically, hazard rate,
Where f(t) = failure density function, and
F(t)=
Cost apportionment means the allotment of proportions of items of cost of cost centers
or cost units. Cost apportionment is also referred to as Cost allocation. Cost centre has
been defined as a location, person or item of equipment for which costs may be
ascertained and used for the purpose of cost control, whereas, a cost unit is a unit of
quantity of product service or time in relation to which costs may be ascertained and or
expressed. Cost apportionment includes choosing the object of costing, accumulating
the costs that relate to the object of costing and choosing the method to identify those
costs. Usually, the apportionment or allocation of costs would be done based on
machine-hours, direct-labor hours etc.
d) Maintenance Audit
Maintenance audit is an audit undertaken to consider the status of maintenance function
in various installations. Maintenance audit considers various maintenance factors like
availability, reliability, maintainability and safety. Key result areas targeted by
maintenance audit are: maintenance costs, maintenance materials management
performance, maintenance management processes, IT systems usage for maintenance,
preventive maintenance system, predictive maintenance system, maintenance planning
and scheduling through work order system and Operation- Maintenance interface.
Various benefits are associated with the concept of maintenance audit such as
compliance towards various laws and standards, support comparison, identify areas for
improvement, national and international certifications and prepare towards popular and
prestigious awards.
