RELIABILITY ANALYSIS IN CEMENT MILLS OF BERBER CEMENT FACTORY
Reliability is the probability that a product, system, or service will perform its intended function adequately for a specified period, or will operate in a defined environment without failure. In this research, the reliability of Berber cement mill studied. The data collected from the information section of Berber cement factory related to the milling section. It includes the daily production reports, the breakdown and the operating time. The operating time between two failures (TTF) was calculated from the daily report of the mill and then a match was made for the data with the probability distributions to find out what is the probability distribution corresponding to the distribution of these data. The best distribution is the Weibull distribution. the Minitab software was applied and then the distribution parameters for the data (measurement parameters c and the shape parameter d) were obtained and then the reliability of each part of the mill were calculated for each hour and the reliability of the system was calculated as a whole. The study found that the reliability of the system is 75% at the first hour of operation. It decreased during continuous operation to 58% due to the poor reliability of the heating system, which has a reliability of 72% and the reliability of the conveying and feeding belts of the clinker, which have a reliability of 75%.
