Assessing the Integrated Computerized Maintenance Management System of O&M Company for Combined Cycle Power Station

This study sought to describe and assess the integrated Computerized Maintenance Management System applied by an Operation and Management (O&M) company to a Combined Cycle Power Station and come up with possible enhancement activities based on the results of the evaluation. The integrated Computerized Maintenance Management System is an electronic database which provides a powerful tool to deal with mechanical maintenance problems. It is a comprehensive approach that directs the maintenance personnel on what specific activity is to be applied on the equipment. The maintenance program was evaluated in terms of the maintenance organization, maintenance activities, spare parts and procurement, management assessment, program review and record keeping. Key performance indicators such as availability, reliability, efficiency and percentage of breakdown maintenance of the combined cycle power station were evaluated and measured the effectiveness of the maintenance program. The proposed enhancement activities would remediate the identified weak points of the maintenance program.
