Abstract: One of the important subjects confronting industrial
managers and manufacturing units is to increase production ratio and
consequently to increase efficiency of equipments. To increase efficiency ratio
of equipments, the failure and disability of equipments should be decreased,
which in turn results in increased reliability of equipments and machineries.
This will be more important when equipments are utilized in the oil processing
company as a vital continuous manufacturing industry of a country like Iran. In
this survey the feasibility of implementing maintenance has been investigated
based on four dimensions of maintenance management, reliability centered
maintenance, project management and change management. The necessary data has been
collected and analyzed by a questionnaire filled by maintenance experts of
Esfahan Oil Refinery Company (EORC). Findings imply that the major hypothesis
of survey has been approved, and among minor hypotheses, one has been rejected
indicating that the level of maintenance management factors, reliability
centered maintenance, and project management in EORC are higher than medium,
while change management is less than medium.
