Abstract:
Classification of equipment is the main method in group maintenance model for automatic production line.
Equipment with different importance should be assigned different maintenance strategies. But method of division importance
of equipment is not mature, most of the literature only considered downtime. In order to maximize the production rate, we
simulate the actual production line, consider the layout, production time, buffer condition of the production line, find the
relationship between production rate and failure rate, repair rate by uniform design method. Find the failure rate and repair
rate indicter which have a great impact on the production rate with stepwise regression method and find critical equipment,
take different maintenance strategies for equipment which have different importance. Finally verify the correctness of the
model. This paper simulates the actual situation of the production line, has relatively few subjectivity and a certain reference
value for the maintenance policy of production line.
