Abstract

espective hour of operation. The series network framework consists of a rinser machine, filler machine, capping machine, labeling machine and coding machine. The reliability of each system was evaluated by assuming a failure rate, to each subsystem and the mean time to failure was equally evaluated. Based on the calculation using the predicted model, at a mission hour of 24,168,312 and 456 hours, the respective reliabilities were; 0.3829, 0.0012, 0.0000038 and 0.000000012. The result showed that the reliability of the system decreases drastically with increasing mission time. Based on this result, the productivity of the plants is expected to be very low, hence the need to improve the reliability. The result also showed that the predicted model is good and efficient in predicting and improving plant performance. Further to this results, the reliability of the bottling machines can be improved by applying the developed model.
