Abstract
A survey conducted by MIT University showed that more than 200 billion dollars are spent annually on maintenance by companies in North America Or, in some cases, the cost of maintenance and repair may even exceed the annual net profit. Therefore, industries are under increasing pressure to reduce their costs and at the same time increase customer service. The maintenance and repair strategy development facility can help businesses develop an action plan containing specific recommendations on how to maintain their assets in a safe and usable condition. The maintenance strategies of implementing this plan can lead to a significant increase in asset availability, workplace safety, and environmental integrity.
With industrialization, occupational accidents have increased, which has caused an increase in human, financial, work and economic losses. Safe performance is achieved by job performance and safe behavior of employees. Safe operation can be defined as a two-dimensional structure; which includes participating in safety matters and complying with safety matters. Safe participation can be referred to the presence of superior supervisors and employees who actively participate in performing safety tasks and providing safety recommendations, so that a safe environment can be built after that, Measure the safety of people, and reduced safety consequences. Also, the attitude, belief and behavior of people play a significant role in the occurrence of accidents, so that safety culture and safety climate are two useful terms to describe the state of the organization's policy and employees' perception of safety issues and occupational incidents can be attributed to the lack of dissemination of safe culture. Therefore, the planning and implementation of safety culture projects need to comply with cultural issues and lack of attention to culture will result in waste of resources, low efficiency of personnel and lack of motivation. In Iran, the financial loss of accidents caused by work is estimated to be more than 30 thousand billion tomans and more than 1800 deaths caused by work accidents. These same problems have caused the views and priorities to change in recent years and safety has become a value. In the meantime, developing maintenance strategies can help businesses provide an action plan containing specific recommendations on how to maintain their assets in a safe and usable condition. The implementation of this plan can lead to a significant increase in maintaining assets, improving workplace safety and protecting the environment; Therefore, determining the optimal maintenance strategy of safety assets is one of the most important decision-making processes in industrial organizations. Choosing the most appropriate maintenance strategy from a set of available options for a piece of equipment includes several evaluation criteria such as cost, safety, time, added value, reliability, etc. In addition, today's concerns about global warming, decreasing energy resources and increasing the level of greenhouse gas emissions have introduced several environmental, social and governance factors and are known as "sustainability" indicators. It is so that it is considered in the maintenance and repair decision. In this regard, any unplanned holiday can have negative effects on the habitats of the region as well as the families of personnel and customers. Therefore, sustainability factors play an important role in evaluating maintenance and repair strategies So that as the requirements of HSE implementation in the systems, it can reduce the accident rate to zero and minimize the costs.
Eefaceram tile factory has 500 human workers who are always exposed to various risks and injuries in the fields of occupational health and safety. This shows the need for more safety and health issues and the effort to preserve and maintain safety assets in this complex by making effective laws. As a result of this research, it aims to implement safety in the selection of maintenance and repair strategies in Eefaceram tile factory and to identify and prioritize its effectiveness, so that by choosing appropriate strategies, it helps to preserve and maintain safety assets.
