MAINTENANCE COST ANALYSIS OF MECHANICAL COMPONENTS IN THE AGROCHEMICAL INDUSTRY
This study evaluates the total maintenance cost of mechanical components used in the agrochemical industry, focusing on identifying cost drivers, optimizing strategies, and analyzing performance factors. Key findings include differences in maintenance costs for 1000g and 500g Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) over three years from January 2021 to December 2023, highlighting significant trends in Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), Mean Time to Repair (MTTR), and maintainability. The analysis integrates preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance strategies, offering actionable insights to minimize costs and improve equipment reliability. This paper provides a framework for efficient resource allocation, reduced downtime, and enhanced operational efficiency.
