Abstract

The aim of this project is to develop a maintenance monitoring system for Faculty of Manufacturing Engineering at Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka. The developed maintenance monitoring system covered on lathe machine at machine shop workstation only. The current maintenance monitoring system applied at FKP workshop which is a paper-based system is found that is one of the factors to cause maintenance tasks overdue date. The objectives of this project are to identify problems of existing maintenance system at the workshop of Faculty of Manufacturing Engineering at UTeM, to develop an alternative maintenance monitoring system for ease of maintenance and to validate the available methods to construct maintenance monitoring system. To reduce the occurrence of maintenance tasks overdue date, a spreadsheet-based maintenance monitoring system is constructed by using Microsoft Excel Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) programming. The constructed system provides a function to add new maintenance tasks, update the tasks and send an e-mail to inform others when a task is completed. Furthermore, the system also can send a notification to the user when a maintenance task is near due date and transfer the MS Excel data to MS Word document for some maintenance required form, such as KEW.PA-9 form which is a complaint form regarding the damage of a movable asset. After the development of the system is completed, it is test used by the assistant engineers and their feedbacks are collected. Last but not least, this is a simple but very effective way to manage all important maintenance processes and ensure greater safety and reliability of the facilities in FKP workshop.
