Abstract The main objective of the project isto increase
the availability a machine and toreduce the down time of a
machine, to maximize production capacity and to improve
new Preventive maintenance schedule. The project is carried
out on hydraulic press were all repeated breakdowns analyzed
along with the critical parts, which were under breakdown
condition is also identified and analyzed . Also the reason for
the breakdown has been analyzed and inspected by the
method of Fish bone diagram and why-why analysis. By this
analysis and methods the root causes of the breakdowns were
identified. This in turn helped to develop and improve a new
Preventive maintenance checklist for the machine. This
method is used to prevent the failure of equipment before it
actually occurs. This project work is aiming at reducing idle
time i.e., breakdown and towards optimizing plant
performance by increasing availability and MTBF of critical
manufacturing equipments This has been achieved by optimal
utilization of time for maintenance, inspection frequency by
considering manufacturer recommendation and previous
experience. By all these procedures the availability of the
machine will increases to a certain extent and also increases
the production capacity, minimizes the maintenance cost and
reduces the down time.

I. INTRODUCTION
Machine maintenance is gaining importance in industry
because of the need to increase reliability and to decrease
the possibility of production loss due to the machine
breakdown. Schedule preventive maintenance reduces the
regular breakdowns and increases the availability of
machine. Detection of faults like imbalance, shaft
misalignment, gear failure and bearing defects is possible.
These signals can also be used to detect the incipient
failures of the machine components, through the online
monitoring system, reducing the possibility of catastrophic
damage and the down time. Maintenance is an activity to
ensure that equipment is in a satisfactory condition and
reliable. The goal of maintenance is to ensure that the
performance of the equipment is satisfactory.

A good maintenance system contributes to efficiency,
customer service, high quality, safety, on time delivery, and
customer satisfaction. For complex mechanical equipment
containing units the optimal model to preventive
maintenance cycle policy is proposed to minimize the
maintenance cost rate, the model is subject to the
availability and the reliability. And optimal variable is
preventive maintenance cycle [1]. The ability to forecast
correctly equipment preventive maintenance (PM) timing
requirements not only helps optimizing equipment uptime
but also minimizing negative impacts on manufacturing
production efficiency [2]. A conception of the production
scheduling and preventive maintenance in industries was
taken for the research work. Thus, there is an intense need
for manufacturing industries to reduce unexpected
breakdowns and remain competitive, and motivating
maintenance operations should be integrated into
production scheduling models [3].
II. PROBLEM DEFINITION
1000 ton hydraulic press is a critical machine. Although
the company is following the present preventive
maintenance schedule. This maintenance schedule is over
exceeding the minimum acceptable level of breakdowns.
Due to this frequent breakdown, there is decreasing in
production capacity and MTBF and also decreases the
machine availability. Hence here an attempt has been made
to overcome the above draw backs by incorporating new
preventive maintenance schedule.
III. DATA COLLECTION
Data Collection is an important aspect of any type of
research study. Inaccurate data collection can impact the
results of a study and ultimately lead to invalid results.Data
is essential for investigating the Root Cause of the problem.
Data also provides the foundation for:
Defining the current performance
Identification of root cause
Measuring progress
Verifying effectiveness of solutions

1. Goal of the data collection is:
Probe the data to determine what happened during
the occurrence
Describe how it happened
Understand why it happened
2. Failure data collection: The following information is
available in maintenance data log books or log sheets
and if computerized, data is available in equipment
history sheets.
The data about the causes of breakdown
Breakdown hours
Repair time, inspection time and maintenance action
taken
Parts replaced
The data should also include the failure reasons
related to machine, material, process, environment
etc. These data, after analysis, will be helpful in the
redesigning during the availability improvement
attempt.
A. Machine details of 1000 ton hydraulic forging pres:
Hydraulic presses are employed for many applications
like slotting, pressing, clamping, blanking, embossing,
stamping, stacking and trimming. There are quite a few
types of hydraulic presses in the market. Each different
hydraulic press offers different features making them ideal
for a number of applications. Hydraulic presses operate
under pressurized, incompressible liquids and are capable
of producing thousands Tons of force.

Fig1: 1000 ton hydraulic forging press
Operating a hydraulic press can be extremely dangerous
and unskilled, untrained workers should never attempt to
operate hydraulic presses. Hydraulic presses are used to
extrude the cold and hot pattern. LASCO hydraulic cold
forming presses are capable of producing parts with a
tolerance of a millimeter. Cold extrusion is among the most
important processes for the economic forming of near net-
shape parts in large volumes. World-wide a multitude of
different parts, including drive pinions, starter shafts,
hollow shafts, and similar automotive parts, are cold forged
on LASCO hydraulic presses. In a combined process of
forward, backward, and cross extrusion, intricate parts,
such as spiders, can be produced in an efficient way and
with consistent quality.

IV. ANALYSIS AND COUNTER MEASURES
A. Root cause analysis:
Root Cause Analysis is a method that is used to address
a problem or non-conformance, in order to get to the root
cause of the problem. It is used to correct or eliminate the
cause, and prevent the problem from recurring.Or, in other
wordsfor a particular product problem, Root Causeis the
factor that, when you fix it, the problem goes away and
doesnt come back.
B. Need for root cause analysis:
A Root Cause Analysis will disclose:
Why the incident, failure or breakdown occurred
How future failures can be eliminated by:
Changes to procedures
Changes to operation
Training of staff
Design modifications
Verification that new or rebuilt equipment is free
of defects which may shorten life:
a. Repair and reinstallation is performed to
acceptance standards.
b. Identification of any factors adversely affecting
service life and implementation of mitigating
actions.
C. Tools of root cause analysis:
1. Fish bone diagram also called as Cause and Effect
Diagram:
Fishbone analysis is an example of root cause analysis
specifically, its a type of cause and effect diagram which
helps you to think through causes of a problem thoroughly.
Their major benefit is that they push you to consider all
possible causes of the problem, rather than just the ones
that are most obvious. This approach works on two
principles:
a. The true problem must be understood before action is
taken.
b. Problems are often masked for a variety of reasons.

Fig2: Fish bone diagram
Causes are usually grouped into major categories to
identify these sources of variation. The categories typically
include:
People: Anyone involved with the process.
Methods: How the process is performed and the
specific requirements for doing it, such as policies,
procedures, rules, regulations and laws.
Machines: Any equipment, computers, tools, etc.
required to accomplish the job.
Materials: Raw materials, parts, pens, paper, etc.
used to produce the final product.
Measurements: Data generated from the process
that are used to evaluate its quality.
Environment: The conditions, such as location,
time, temperature, and culture in which the
process operates.
2. 5-why analysis
The 5-Why method helps to determine the cause-effect
relationships in a problem or a failure event. It can be used
whenever the real cause of a problem or situation is not
clear. Using the 5-Whys is a simple way to try solving a
stated problem without a large detailed investigation
requiring many resources. When problems involve human
factors this method is the least stressful on participants. It is
one of the simplest investigation tools easily completed
without statistical analysis. Also known as a Why Tree, it is
supposedly a simple form of root cause analysis.
By repeatedly asking the question, Why? you peel
away layers of issues and symptoms that can lead to the
root cause. You start with a statement of the situation and
ask why it occurred. You then turn the answer to the first
question into a second Why question. The next answer
becomes the third Why question and so on. Though this
technique is called 5-Whys, five is a rule of thumb. You
may ask more or less Whys before finding the root of a
problem.
a. Benefits of the 5 Whys:
Help identify the root cause of a problem.
Determine the relationship between different root
causes of a problem.
One of the simplest tools; easy to complete
without statistical analysis.

E. Preventive maintenance program:
The most important reason for a PM program is reduced
costs as seen in the following ways:
Reduced production downtime, resulting in fewer
machine breakdowns.
Better conservation of assets and increased life
expectancy of assets, thereby eliminating premature
replacement of machinery and equipment.
Reduced overtime costs and more economical use of
maintenance workers due to working on a scheduled
basis instead of a crash basis to repair breakdowns.
Timely, routine repairs circumvent fewer large-scale
repairs.
Reduced cost of repairs by reducing secondary
failures. When parts fail in service, they usually
damage the other parts.
Reduced product rejects, rework and scrap due to
better overall equipment condition.
Identification of equipment with excessive
maintenance costs, indicating the need for corrective
maintenance, operator training, or replacement of
obsolete equipment.
Improved safety and quality conditions.
F. Benefits of preventive maintenance:
Keeps equipment in good condition to prevent large
problems.
Extends the useful life of equipment.
Improves system availability and reliability.
Decreases system downtime.
Parts stocking levels can be optimized.
Reduces number of emergency breakdowns.
Greatly reduces unplanned downtime.
Finds small problems before they become big ones.
Improves customer service.
Reduces inventory cost by ensuring availability of
spare parts.
Decreases maintenance costs and replacement costs.
Increases overall productivity.

VI. CONCLUSION
This project has been carried out on 1000 Ton hydraulic
forging press and all repeated breakdowns were analyzed
along with the critical parts, which has been under
breakdown condition is also identified and analyzed . Also
the reason for the breakdown has been analyzed and some
of the tools of root cause analysis like 5-why analysis, fish
bone diagram are implemented to identify the actual cause
of the breakdown. By this analysis and methods the root
causes of the breakdowns were identified. This in turn
helped to develop and improve a new preventive
maintenance checklist for the machine. This method is used
to prevent the failure of equipment before it actually
occurs.The average availability of critical machine 1000
Ton hydraulic forging press after root cause analysis is
increased to 4.16%. Also the average MTBF of critical
machine after root cause analysis is increased to 13.66%
and MTTR is decreased to 46.42% respectively. After root
cause analysis there is an improvement in the maximization
of planned productivity.This is because of proper diagnosis
of the existing system and by employing proper preventive
maintenance schedule. Therefore whenever a breakdown
occurs, the root cause of the breakdown has to be
identified. Then some efforts should be made to improve
this system using root cause analysis and counter measures,
such that similar type of breakdown can be reduced.
