Abstract :

Today, one of the most important issues in the field of optimizing production systems is machine maintenance and repair policies. Also, in manufacturing industries, maintenance and repair costs account for about 30 percent of total current costs. Therefore, maintenance and repair should be considered as a main pillar in manufacturing industries. If maintenance and repair intervals are not considered in quality control and production scheduling for reliability control, interruptions caused by maintenance and repair interference for reliability control may lead to unfulfilled demand. For this purpose, this research presents the creation and development of a new method for evaluating reliability in a maintenance and repair system. To design the research model, first, all factors affecting reliability in the maintenance and repair system were carefully examined and extracted; then, using the opinions of respected professors as well as specialists and experts in this field, some of them were eliminated and some were added. Among the factors affecting the reliability of a maintenance and repair system is the level of repairability of equipment and machinery, the quality of the maintenance and repair system, the level of use of modern quality control methods, the level of use of reliability improvement programs, the level of achievement of international standards, the level of employee training, the level of employee skill, the level of ability to meet customer needs, the level of ability to detect changes in the system, the level of customer satisfaction, etc.
