The relationship between maintenance and increasing production efficiency at the Gulf Power Station in Sirte

Abstract

This study aimed at measuring the level of use of maintenance activities in the Sirte Gulf Power Station, and the extent of its role in increasing the production efficiency of the station, as well as identifying the level of the relationship between maintenance and production efficiency. To achieve these objectives, the researchers conducted a field study on the Gulf Power Station in Sirte, represented in the distribution of questionnaires, where (148) questionnaires were distributed to staff various specialties in the station. (116) questionnaires were received, and they were valid for analysis. Numbers of statistical methods were used, such as standard deviation, arithmetic means, correlation coefficient, regression, and others, as these inputs were analyzed using the statistical program (SPSS). The study found a set of results, including: the value of the correlation coefficient (r) between maintenance and production efficiency was a highly correlated relationship, and also the value of the correlation coefficient (r) between preventive maintenance and production efficiency was a medium correlation relationship. In addition, the results showed that the value of the correlation coefficient (r) between curative maintenance and production efficiency was a medium correlation relationship.
