Abstract

Experimental and simulation of the failure analysis of machinery in AB breweries was investigated. Work study of the operation and production system were observed through data collection and analysis methods. Techno matrix Plant Simulation software were used to develop a conceptual simulate and validate the experimental and predicted data. Cleaning, Inspection, Lubrication and Tightening (CILT), and Kaizen processes were carried out, to optimize preventive maintenance strategies and to ensure evaluated system robustness. The production and operation system of the organization which involves varieties of sectors, machines, tools, and staff, were the cause of low productivity observed in the company, thereby struggling to meet the customer’s demand. From the results obtained, it was observed that the bottleneck affecting the production is the filler and pasteurizer machines. The pasteurizer creates blockage due to an inefficient regulation of the labellers. From the different experiments conducted and remedies applied on the system from the methods, the inefficiency of the blockage of the pasteurizer was corrected, which decreased the production shift stoppages 5 minutes earlier, CILT result in 10 minutes less activities per shift in total, this is 92.96 minutes of the 480 minutes per shift. The CILT tasks over the operators were reduced, because the production balance in the new situation for labeler111 was at 52%, as against labeler112 at 48%. Implementing all the improvement strategies across the production line resulted in yearly savings of NGN338, 338,000.00 per line.
