    Abstract

    This paper describes a new Internet-based maintenance data collection application and its use for improved maintenance planning at a woodyard. It presents some data collection results and demonstrates how the availability performance measures based on the collected data are calculated. The developed data collection application met the user requirements. The device-based data structure makes further analysis, reporting, and use of the data possible. The database, from which a mill can recall maintenance and failure data, supports maintenance information exchange and helps to solve recurring problems. Detailed analysis of availability performance helps locate bottlenecks in a production line and insures accurate direction of corrective measures. The information boosts the efforts to increase production line efficiency and supports decision-making for new investments.
