The application of optimal maintenance process was investigated for minimizing the equipment breakdowns and downtimes in Sungun Copper Mine. It results in the improved efficiency and productivity of the equipment and lowered expenses as well as the increased profit margin. The field operating data of 10 trucks are used to estimate the failure and maintenance profile for each component, and modeling and simulation are accomplished by using reliability block diagram method. The field operating data of 10 trucks are used to estimate the failure and maintenance profile for each component, and modeling and simulation are accomplished by using reliability block diagram method Trend analysis was then conducted to select proper probabilistic model for maintenance profile. Then reliability of the system was evaluated and importance of each component was computed by weighted importance measure method. This analysis led to identify the items with critical impact on availability of overall equipment in order to prioritize improvement decisions.

Trucking is the most conventional and maintenance. Several types of maintenance could be classical method of haulage system in mining industry. In applied on a system including preventive and corrective this regards, loading and hauling equipments are maintenance in order to restore it to operational mode. considered as the most precious assets of an open pit Therefore, this analysis plays an important role in mine which correspond to the vast amount of capital dependability evaluation of repairable items. The invested. Similar to all kind of machineries, trucks also availability is the probability that a component operates need to be carefully preserved under a cautious at an intended mission time. Due to the application of maintenance program which sometimes contributes as both failure and maintenance downtime data, availability 30% to 50% of the whole haulage costs [1]. Accordingly, is generally used for measuring performance of the the current work was aimed to investigate the repairable items [4]. maintenance related to the mining trucks using This work describes the reliability-centered reliability-centered maintenance. maintenance analysis process of the mining dump trucks Reliability and availability are two suitable metrics in Sungun Copper Mine. The aim of the research is for quantitative evaluation of system survival analysis. firstly to decrease trucks’ sudden failures and Reliability is defined as the probability of the system breakdowns as well as to improve the service lifetime mission implementation without occurrence of failure at and finally to reduce the maintenance costs. The a specified time period [2]. In class of statistical methods, reliability management (e.g. improvement) decreases the analysis investigates the effectiveness of the maintenance policy, though, the mine manager can make the preferred decision about the maintenance policy contrarily. In this work, uncertainty analysis is performed due to the uncertain nature of parameters and 第 2 頁lack of sufficient data.Literature review A reliability, availability and maintainability (RAM) program is crucial in an effective maintenance management. This program is used because the failures cannot be prevented entirely; however, well planned maintenance minimizes both probability of failure (increases the reliability) and its impact on the equipment (decreases the equipment breakdown) [5]. The RAM method could be very beneficial in the mining industry because of the complication of the mining equipment operation and maintenance [6]. KUMAR et al [7] investigated the reliability of the load-haul-dump (LHD) machines. The main objective of their research was to analyze failure based on complete and censored data. Their investigation demonstrated that the choice of each approach in utilization of either complete or censored data leads to various directional results. BARABADY and KUMAR [5] studied the reliability and availability of a crushing plant, studied the importance measure to identify the critical sub-systems and highlighted the planning for system reliability improvement. UZG?REN et al [8] analyzed the mechanical failure data of draglines machine. It is considered as a repairable system and then renewal process approach is applied for statistical modeling of the system. HOSEINIE et al [9] also investigated the reliability of the hydraulic system of drum shearer. Accordingly, the maintenance strategy and proper statistical distribution were selected based on failure behavior of the system. Table 1 summarizes the research articles reviewed in conjunction to the reliability evaluation of different mining equipment and demonstrates the failure process models of the equipment restoration rate after a maintenance operation. Methodology and modeling Methodology and analysis process, as illustrated in Fig. 1, describe the procedure of the model identification and selection of the optimal statistical distribution for analysis of the failure and maintenance data. The study started initially by trend analysis of the truck failure times using graphical method. Basically, trend testing is accomplished using either graphical method [21] (i.e., probability plotting [22?23] and time test on plot [24]) or analytical method [25?26] (i.e., Mann test [27], Laplace test [28] and Military Handbook test [18]). Hence, the repairable and non-repairable items of trucks are 第 3 頁identified and the probabilistic failure process methods are distinguished for modeling the maintenance operations. Generally, reliability analysis of the repairable systems is estimated by several assumptions including renewal process (RP), homogenous Poisson process(HPP), non-homogenous Poisson process (NHPP) and generalized renewal process (GRP) [29]. In this work, the RP method is used when the state of the system after the maintenance is “as good as new” which means the age of the system restored to zero. In cases that the system converts to “as bad as old” state, which means the age of system remains unchanged after the maintenance, NHPP is the method of choice whereas, HPP model is applied when the failure intensity is constant and the time between failures follows from the exponential distribution. Hence, the GRP model is assumed to generalize all three presented states for mining trucks. Then, the optimal distribution and its parameters need to be obtained via either parametric or non-parametric approaches. Subsequently, reliability of the system and its components should be evaluated. The availability of the trucks is estimated by using maintenance policy data and reliability functions. The Markov chain method is also used to evaluate the performance and availability of some repairable systems [29]. This is a direction for system analysis which is not used in this work. Case study Sungun Copper Deposit is the second largest copper mine in Iran. Geological reserve of the deposit is estimated up to 828 million tons with average copper grade of 0.62%. The mine operation is managed in the mine site by employing a fleet of 52 and 20 Komatsu 32 and 100 ton trucks, respectively, 11 Caterpillar 988 loader, 1 Liebherr 17 cubic meter shovels, 8 Komatsu PC800 excavators and 9 drilling rigs. This work is limited on the maintenance operation analysis of mine trucks only. Data collection Collection of failure data was the first phase in this project. The failure data come from different sources like field data, generic data, test and inspection data. Due to availability of the collected field data, the modeling and analysis are mostly performed by utilization of this field data. The database is composed of operation time, age of the trucks, maintenance data recorded for the truck’s components. The maintenance and operational 第 4 頁Fig. 1 Flowchart of reliability evaluation 第 5 頁data were collected in time interval of 2010—2011. The equivalent operation times for a month and a year are approximately considered as 500 and 6000 h, respectively. A main obstacle in data collection process was the deficiency of adequate data for the appropriate statistical analyses. There are methods to deal with this situation including expert judgment [30], Bayesian updating method [31], and combination of homogenous data method (similar parts of the equipment). Accordingly, it is assumed that the maintenance data are homogenous in this work. Therefore, the combination of homogenous data technique is applied to deal with the scarcity of data. This method is appropriate for the fleet of equipment or the systems with dominant identical components and similar condition [32]. The assumptions are made in a way that the design, hardware, function, operation conditions, procedures, system structure, location and environment are all similar [18]. Moreover, the age of dump trucks was a major factor for justification of the identical conditions of trucks. Since each system has an intrinsic different failure random behavior at its service lifetime, in this work, 10 dump trucks are chosen with the age of approximately 15000 operation hours. This age is in the region of useful lifetime of trucks. In the useful lifetime, the failure mostly occurs under a systematic process whereas the failure behavior for a new system is based on the infant failure and in older systems, the failure occurs in wear out region. Modeling of system The system of dump truck is decomposed to its sub-systems and components in order to analyze the system reliability. Figure 2 demonstrates the hierarchical decomposing of dump truck system into the main sub- systems and also further decomposition of each sub-system into its components. The failure mode and effect analysis approach were conducted to assess the significant failure modes for each component [33]. The reliability block required for mission success of the dump truck. Therefore, the weakest link model was found a proper model for this purpose. Trend analysis Non-parametric methods are alternatives for analysis of the failure and repair data trend. This analysis provides a curve of the mean cumulative function for mean number of failure at specified time against service lifetime to illustrate the trend of failure data during 第 6 頁total period [34]. If the failure data plot results a straight line, it is concluded that there is no trend. Based on this analysis, each unit is composed of a staircase function that demonstrates the cumulative number of failures for a particular event. Finally, regression of the generated points describes the trend procedure. Also, assembly of units generates a set of staircase curve of each unit in the population, so that the mean cumulative number of failures is estimated. The serial correlation test is used for studying the independence of the failure data. Serial correlation plot is based on i-th lifetime failure against (i?1)-th one. If only one cluster of points is generated then no trend is observed. The trend exists if two or more clusters, or a straight line is generated [18]. Probability plot is used for estimating the statistical distribution parameters when the failure data follow IID condition whereas the GRP method is used whenever the failure data demonstrate a trend. The testing trend and serial correlation for braking sub-system shows that the IID condition is obtained as shown Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, respectively. Fig. 2 Decomposion of dump truck system 第 7 頁Repairable items The trend test is used for performance analysis of the repairable items to identify the failure behavior. The trend analysis of failure data leads to determination of rate of occurrence. It also determines whether the part has increasing failure intensity (IFI) or decreasing failure intensity (DFI). If the intensity function decreases, the system is improving whereas the increasing intensity function leads to deterioration of the system. According to flowchart process exhibited in Fig. 1, the parameters of failure probabilistic distribution of repairable items are computed using GRP technique. GRP model is selected Fig. 7 Downtime for each component 第 8 頁because of its capability to consider the imperfect maintenance data in truck items. Therefore, the TBF data are collected as the input parameter of the PLP model to estimate the statistical parameters. Weibull++8 software is used as the computation tool for the calculations in this work. It is assumed here that the maintenance is imperfect in determining system behavior after a maintenance task on the system components. The restoration rate is estimated for the components after a repair task whose value is specified in range of 0 to 1, where restoration value 0 means no improvement in component status after repair and restoration value 1 is perfect repair making unit as good as new. In this approach the assumptions are more realistic in comparison with traditional methods discussed above which they only consider either minimal repair state (NHPP) or perfect repair state. However, a main challenge in the method is to estimate the restoration rate of item after completion of a maintenance task. It leads to the consider ation of the uncertainties of model for assessment of confidence level in estimation process. Accordingly, two types of maintenance is considered for corrective maintenance activities which are called Types I and II. Type I model assumes that the repairs can remove some portion of the damage which has accumulated since the last repair. In other words, the age of the components after the m-th maintenance immediately return to the age of the (m?1) maintenance considering coefficient of maintenance effectiveness. The model Type II assumes that the repairs can remove a portion of all damage that has accumulated since the system was new. The models of Types I and II are used for calculation respectively as followsConclusions The RAM analyses are essential in the maintenance of the heavy machinery as productivity of the equipment strongly depends on it. In this work, the reliability- centered maintenance is evaluated for the Komatsu mining trucks at the Sungun Copper Mine. The analysis process is comprised for both repairable and non- repairable items. The reliability analysis is implemented for each sub-system at various mission time. The probabilistic failure process modeling is performed for repairable and non-repairable items using the GRP and RP methods, respectively. The importance measure analysis indicates that the wheels are the most critical component. Later, the analysis based on the availability indicates that the mean availability of the dump truck is 91.8% at 12000 operation hours. 第 9 頁The uncertainty analysis is done to find the confidence interval of the estimated equipment reliability and availability. Research findings are provided to the maintenance management team for planning better decisions about the maintenance operation, condition monitoring of the critical items, inventory of the spare parts and their re-order level which leads to reduction in the equipment downtime. This leads to an improvement of the equipment productivity and reduction of the operating costs.
