English Abstract

Maintenance management links the technical and management sides of maintenance which helps maintenance managers and industrial facilities managers to take important decisions that significantly contribute in cutting maintenance costs and overall production costs as a consequence.

Electrical and electronic equipments maintenance management is an important field to create opportunities to reduce maintenance costs at the same time of achieving better efficiency and reliability.

Following maintenance management procedures that deviate from the best practices and the international standards might cause weak maintenance performance and significant finance losses, such deviations are poor documentation and non availability of preventive maintenance procedures for the electrical and electronic equipments.

This is a field analyzing study of the current electrical and electronic maintenance in AL-Abiad mine in comparison to the best practices and the international standards.

The results show shortage in preventive maintenance activities and high reliance on corrective maintenance, oral communication in maintenance management procedures instead of using paper or computer, documentation absence.

The study also includes distributing a questionnaire on the mine maintenance and operation personnel, the results have shown that following maintenance procedures as per the best practices and the international standards, using computer do not significantly affect maintenance costs.

Suggesting alternative equipments, systems, and practices can save 928135 JD annual costs, these suggestions include: using variable speed controllers (VSD) for 5, 90 kw motors, resizing motors to the suitable original design, adopting preventive maintenance for the electrical and electronic equipments, replacing the current lighting system with new controlled and energy saving technology, addressing electric power quality and continuity, fixing capacitors for power factor correction, connecting temperature protection sensors on large motors, good selection of electric equipments specifications such as ingress protection (IP) to withstand the operational and environmental conditions, replacing selected motors by more efficient ones, connecting new power line insulators, spare parts inventory control.

Preventive maintenance software has been built to help in maintenance activities scheduling, documentation, and reminding with the maintenance dates.

Preventive maintenance procedures have been prepared for electric equipments as per the international standards and the manufacturer recommendations to be followed by the maintenance personnel.
