Design for maintenance is a way to extend the useful life of machines and equipment: a field study in a group of factories in Nineveh Governorate
Main Article Content
Abstract
The current research sought to measure how the design strategy, which is one of the strategies for extending the life of the product, extends the life of machines, equipment, and production facilities to the longest possible period. A group of industrial factories in Nineveh Governorate was chosen: the iron and steel factory, the sugar and yeast factory, and the furniture factory. Mosul" to determine how those concerned in these factories maintain the machines and equipment for the longest possible period, mainly with the aim of achieving the maximum degree of exploitation, and the secondary objectives that accompany this goal. Such as: reducing costs, improving quality, reducing risks, and reducing investments in machinery and equipment. Data and information related to these variables were collected using a questionnaire as the main tool, and after obtaining data from the surveyed factories, this data was analyzed statistically for the purpose of arriving at the results for this study, and then analyzing and interpreting these results to reach the most important conclusions expected from this study, and then the research proposed a group One of the proposals serves as a road map for the fields investigated in order to extend the useful life of production machines and equipment.
