Abstract

This research work focuses on the Sterilizer Unit in Adapalm oil mill and considers what could be done to improve the dwindling performance of the unit which has kept the processing at low ebb. A study of the existing production processes was done to find out the reason(s) for low productivity in the company. The sterilizer unit was identified as one area of setback to achieving full potentials in the factory. Models were developed. MATLAB software was used to analyse the models so as to arrive at optimal performance. The result of the analysis showed that the sterilizer, having exceeded its lifespan which is evident in the Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF), must be replaced and proper maintenance attitude inculcated henceforth. It is believed that when this is done, the production system will be operating at its optimal state.
