Maintenance Interval Adjustment Based on the Experience, Case Study of Marine Air Compressor System

The paper presents the initial case of a research of analysing maintenance interval adjustment in the shipping industry. This case is an example of the adjustment of the maintenance interval carried out by ship’s crew on starting air compressor system. The example is found and followed through the records in the computerized Planned Maintenance System. Maintenance interval adjustment proposal and actual adjustment were carried out based on user’s experience, after rechecking maintenance data and actual machinery condition, without theoretical approach or analysis. That process created new maintenance plan which is in use on the system for past ten years. Missing actions in the process, i.e. theoretical analysis of the initial and modified maintenance, are performed using the MA-CAD method with a modified reliability testing and are described in the paper. Results obtained by the theoretical analysis are compared with the requested and performed modification of the Maintenance Plan and a conclusion about performed action has been derived.
