Abstract

The company Camlait, based in Douala where an internship was made, has a number of equipment contributing to the continuous production of Rivers and other dairy products. It happens that among its equipment, there are generators sets and they regularly break down. In order to reduce their downtime and increase their availability, there was talk of setting up an optimized maintenance policy to solve this problem, in order to generate a good availability factor. To do this, an evaluation of the existing maintenance policy was carried out using the KIVIAT diagram, thus allowing to visualize the inventory of the maintenance service, in terms of personnel, equipment and power to highlight the main problems. met by the maintenance, an analysis of the availability of the generators sets was deployed, preceded by the proposal of a formula of optimization of the time of stop and opening to evaluate the state of the premises and finally for an optimal maintenance of its generators sets, it has been proposed a range of first level inspection followed by a preventive maintenance plan
