<p>Maintenance cost becomes one of the problems that manufacturing company is facing nowadays due to<br />lack of maintenance system. The main objective of this research is to reduce the maintenance cost on auto<br />rooting machine in toy manufacturer by developing a scheduled preventive maintenance. Data of machine<br />breakdowns and costs related to maintenance, components, and the interval time of failure for each machine<br />were collected. To develop a preventive maintenance system, the interval of component replacement must be<br />determined. The minimum cost model is attained by finding the right interval time. The result of this research<br />shows that by implementing proposed maintenance schedule the machine reliability has 45% increase and<br />maintenance cost decreases by 48%.</p>
