Q1. What are the stages in the lifecycle management of any machinery? (List the stages in
the lifecycle management of any machinery, Explain what is done in each stage , you may
use examples if needed.) 1, 9
Answer:
Asset Life Cycle Management
Every asset has its own life cycle. The managerial efficiency and effectiveness lies with the fact
as to how well they utilise the asset within its life cycle. The maintenance methods are used to
keep the machines working to its optimum efficiency levels within that life cycle and obtain
maximum benefits. With state of art machineries being deployed for production, the demand to
produce high quality products to high volumes, demands the best maintenance management
system over the life cycle of the machineries. .


Q2. Write short notes on:
Fault tree analysis for improving maintenance effectiveness
Routine maintenance
Problems in maintenance scheduling
Wrench Time

Answer: Fault Tree Analysis
.
For improving maintenance effectiveness one of the tools used is the fault tree analysis. In electrical and
control systems, failures are linked to certain physical portions of the equipment. For instance, non
operation of a set of wiring combinations in an electrical system may result in certain types of failures. To
know the root cause of the problem, it may be necessary to isolate the circuit so that the failed segment
could be identified immediately.
A fault tree is therefore a network diagram of the circuitry that facilitates tracing the component failure to
specific portion of the network, thus helping maintenance personnel to directly attend the problem.

Q3. Why detail analysis and use of different methods are essential requirements for taking
suitable decisions on the equipment replacements? Explain briefly these methodologies
used.

(Reasons for detail analysis and use of different Methods:Decision Tree method-2 marks,
Minimum Annual Cost method-2 marks, Barnes Formula method-2 marks, MAPI Method-
2 marks) 10 marks
Answer-3

The method of replacement and its analysis is similar to those adopted while procuring the
equipments under original investment plans of the project, except for the following differences:
The original investment analysis was made from purely investment and returns basis, whereas in
case of replacement the estimation will also consider the residual serviceable life the existing
equipment.


Q4. Explain briefly the ABC classification and reasons behind recommending ABC and
VED classifications for managing inventory of spare parts for maintenance?

(Explanation of ABC classification including class-6 marks, items and their features
reasons behind
recommending ABC and VED classifications for managing inventory-4 marks) 10 marks

Answer-4
Classification of Inventories
Let us discuss about the inventory control methodologies that are practiced and see which
common method out of these could be adopted in inventory management of spare parts.
Inventory of production items, components, and aggregates are classified into groups based on
their relative importance with respect to availability, the economy or the lead time for
procurement. Inventory items are classified and controlled based on some criterions.


Q5. Explain briefly the universal principles used for improving productivity of the
maintenance management

(Scientific principle-1 mark, Measurement and control-2 mark, Activity and
responsibility-1 mark, Customer and service relationship-2 marks, Crew size-2 marks,
Timelines-2 marks) 10 marks
Answer-5

Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is a business process improvement method, developed
from the perspective of maintenance management. TPM concentrates on productivity
improvement, primarily by way of maximizing the availability of equipment.

Scientific principle
Best productivity results can be achieved when each worker has a definite job to do in a definite
way within a definite time. Here the Frederick Taylors principle of scientific management can
be applied to all tasks and hence maintenance can also adopt the principles laid out by Taylor.



Q6. What is meant by Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)? What are its constituents
and objectives served? List the OEE Losses?
(Concept-2 marks, Components/constituents-3 marks, objectives served by OEE,
calculation of OEE-3 marks, Listing of OEE losses-2 marks) 10 marks
Answer-6

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)

The central concept of TPM philosophy is to maximize the Overall Equipment Effectiveness
(OEE). The success of TPM program is related to recognizing OEE as an important measure for
maintenance management OEE is defined as the product of the availability of the equipment and
the overall performance efficiency resulting in the quality output, with zero defects.
Q1. Explain Benchmarking, Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and their benefits
(Benchmarking-4 marks, Reasons and Benefits of Benchmarking, Benchmarking
Process,Types of Benchmarking, Quality Function Deployment, House of Quality, QFD

There are essentially five key drivers for developing quality culture. They are:

1. Provide quality goals and measurements at all levels
Providing quality goals and measurements at all levels is a starting point to ensure action on quality.

Q3. What are the different statistical distributions used to model various reliability
parameters
(The exponential distribution-2.5 marks, The Weibull distribution-2.5 marks, normal
distribution-2.5 marks, lognormal distribution-2.5 marks) 10 marks
Answer-3

The exponential distribution
The exponential distribution is used to model electronic reliability failures in the operating
domain that tend to show a constant failure rate. To fail exponentially means that the distribution
of failure times fits the exponential distribution. Figure shows the exponential distribution for
varying values of .


Q4. For modern products, explain the concepts on what on which design reviews are based
(compulsory because of either customer demand, conducted by a team consisting mainly
specialists are formal, cover all quality-related parameters, design reviews are based on
defined criteria, conducted at several phases, inputs from the design review ) 10 marks

Answer-4
Design Review
Design review is a formal, documented, comprehensive and systematic examination of a design
to evaluate the design requirements and the capability of the design to meet the requirements and
to recognize problems
and propose solutions. Design review is not new. The term has referred to an informal evaluation
of

Q5. What are the basic steps involved in audit reporting? Explain
(Review and finalize audit results: Audit details-2 marks, System effectiveness-2 marks,
Conclusion to be reported-2 marks, Request for corrective action-2 marks) 10 marks

Answer-5

Audit Reporting
The purpose of a quality audit report is to communicate the results of the investigation. The
report should provide correct and clear data that will be effective as a management aid in
addressing important organizational issues. The audit ends when the report is issued by the lead
auditor.

Q6. Write short notes on:
Quality assurance
Jurans trilogy
Quality standards
Types of quality costs

Answer: Quality Assurance
Quality Assurance (QA) is defined as a method intended to ensure that a product or service under
development (before work is completed) meets specified requirements.
ISO defines quality assurance as all the planned and systematic activities implemented within the
quality system, and established as needed, to provide enough confidence that an entity will fulfil
the requirements for quality.
