Abstract

Nothing lasts forever and all the equipment in a plant has associated with it some predefined life expectancy or operational life. Maintenance practices are the works of keeping the equipment of the plant in good condition for operation. However, the equipment that does not receive adequate maintenance tends to deviate from optimal performance. This can lead to non-control of degraded processes and product volatility, affecting in turn the dynamics of many business issues in industrial organizations. Given the importance of the foregoing, the current study tried to investigate the role of the set of maintenance practices in the poor uptime of operating equipment toward the dynamics of business issues in industrial companies. To achieve this end, the study was performed by conducting a questionnaire survey within the firms of the Kurdistan region of Iraq that have at least 100 employees. The results of the study revealed that improper maintenance practices play a great role in the poor uptime of operating equipment toward the negative dynamic of many business issues such as low customer satisfaction due to production schedules absent from customer shipment commitments, increased safety risks quantitatively and the high cost health losses, especially with the occurrence of major malfunction in operating equipment.
