Abstract :
This research examines the reliability, availability, maintainability and dependability of an animal feed processing system to maximize overall operational performance. Reliability is checked using Mean Time between Failures and Mean Time to Repair, showing a gradual decline due to equipment failures as time passes. Availability on the other hand focuses on the systems repair efficiency over time. Maintainability focuses on system maintenance capabilities. The findings provide means to reduce downtime and improve operational reliability in animal feed processing. Graphical analysis of Reliability shows a consistent decline over time across all equipment. Availability analysis reveals that despite a high initial recovery rate, minor deviations in repair times can significantly impact overall operational uptime.
