Evaluation of The Engineering Department Maintenance Section In WAFRAPHARMA LABORATORIES

Abstract

The scope of this research covers the Engineering Department at Wafrapharma Laboratories for medicine .It focuses on machine maintenance processes and seeks possible improvement potentials. The methodology used in this research is (BPR) Business Process Reengineering methodology that developed at Saarland University in Germany by IDS Scheer Company. ARIS Toolset supports the methodology itself. The maintenance process within the scope documented using ARIS Toolset including the organization structure, technology used, documents and all other parts that participate in the process. These processes analyzed to identify the main weak point, and then according to the used methodology, a scenario for the To Be process suggested. Calculated production losses and profit only by downtime cost because no data about losses of materials, time in case of remanufacturing, cleaning, and lubrication As a conclusion, a road map provided to implement a new Maintenance System that can solve of the problems of the current one. The new system defines a base for the documentation of the processes and the continuous process development.
