A Qualitative Study Exploring Maintenance Policies of Compressed Air Systems in Production

Original language description

Compressed air systems are crucial for production in various industries and significantly impact global energy consumption. Despite this, maintenance predominantly relies on traditional corrective and preventive methods, with literature suggesting that advanced strategies like condition-based maintenance and predictive maintenance are applied less frequently. Although theoretical works suggest that predictive maintenance policies could be applied to compressed air systems, practical examples of such applications are scarce. This gap between theory and practice necessitates an investigation into the barriers preventing the adoption of advanced maintenance policies for compressed air system. This study adopts a qualitative approach with 20 maintenance managers from various sectors in Istanbul, Turkiye. It aims to reveal the decision-making processes behind maintenance policy selection, the integration challenges of condition-based maintenance and predictive maintenance, and the place of compressed air system in production processes. Findings indicate a cautious approach towards advanced maintenance policies among maintenance managers due to the critical nature of compressed air system and reliance on manufacturer guidelines. The research reveals that managers recognize the benefits of condition-based maintenance and predictive maintenance, such as increased economic efficiency and extended equipment life. However, there is a notable reluctance to deviate from traditional maintenance methods due to the indispensable role of compressed air system in production and a preference for manufacturer-recommended practices. Consequently, this study advocates for compressed air system manufacturers to lead in the development and support of maintenance management systems enhanced by Industry 4.0 technologies. This initiative is vital for tackling compressed air system maintenance challenges, enabling a shift to more efficient and cost-effective practices, and promoting further academic and practical progress in this essential field.
