ASSIGNMENT-6

CHAPTER 14S Problems #1 and #4

No. of Breakdowns = Frequency of occurance x Expected no. of Breakdowns

Expected number of breakdowns without preventive maintenance = 1.85 per month

Expected cost of repair without the plan = 1.85 x $500 = $925

Fixed-Fee service contract would be economical for the hospital lab.

OVEMENTS

Number of Breakdowns Frequency of Occurance Expected number of Breakdowns

0 0.15 0
1 0.25 0.25
2 0.3 0.6
3 0.2 0.6
4 0.1 0.4
1.85
Belt failure mean interval = 575 hours
Standard deviation = 175 hours
Belt replaced during scheduled maintenance = $85
Belt replaced during unscheduled maintenance = $285

Optimal preventive maintenance = Preventive Cost/(Preventive cost + Breakdown cost)

Optimal preventive maintenance = $85/($85+$285)
Optimal preventive maintenance = 0.2297

z = -0.74 (Calculated using NORMSINV)

Preventive maintenance Interval = Mean + z(standard deviation)

Preventive maintenance Interval = 575 -0.74(175)
Preventive maintenance interval = 575 - 129.5
Preventive maintenance interval = 445.50 hours (Answer)
