Abstract

Consideration of difficulties inherent in maintenance management system in the operation of centrifugal pump, and to minimizes the maintenance cost by generating a maintenances task. Broad based results showed that the RCM had great impact on the preventive maintenance (PM) tasks. The Run-To-Failure (RTF) frequency was reduced. The result showed that by carrying out the proposed RCM labour plan on the plant equipment- the labour cost decreased from N162.900, 000.00/year to N31.028, 400.00/year. The proposed PM task results indicated a saving of about 80.95% of the total annual downtime cost as compared with the current maintenance (RTF) plan. The maintenance technique applied in this study could be adopted by production firms to improve the reliability of their plant and minimize its failure rate and operational cost.
