Identification of Critical Component to Enhance Equipment Availability in A Graphite Manufacturing Industry

The need of making appropriate decision in less time is arises day by day due to increasing competition, need of bottleneck production, high quality standards, awareness in customer and globalization. A small mistake may result in hefty production losses and reputation. Apart from this, generally a limited budget allocated to maintenance department. Therefore, it is necessary to use decision making techniques to ensure right decision at right time instead of relying merely on experience. The objective of present work is to identify Critical Component of Compressor using improved preference ranking organization method for enrichment evaluations (PROMETHEE) to ensure maximum equipment availability for production in a heavy industry.
