Abstract

The purpose of this project was study of product architecture for design for maintenance.To achieve the purpose of this project, the concept of product architecture, maintenance and modularity have been research and study. The modular components of product architecture that can use for design for maintenance are identified.This project has to relate the product architecture with the maintenance. There are several modular should be consider during choosing it in design for maintenance. The modular approaches in product architecture are slot modular architecture, bus modular architecture and sectional architecture. In the maintenance there are four approaches that should be considered, the approach are preventive maintenance, breakdown maintenance, corrective maintenance and predictive maintenance. In this project the relationship between product architecture are important, how to design the product to ease maintenance using the modular in product architecture. When using the modular in architecture, it will help to improve the maintenance of product which is also can decrease time and cost of the product in maintenance. But before design for maintenance, the background of the product also should be considered. The man who involved in maintenance must know the component or part of the product before maintenance. At the end of this project, the product that has been choose will be improve by relate it with the product architecture and design for maintenance.Modularization of components reduces maintenance guess work, which in turn reduces maintenance downtime. Beside that, the maintenance also can be improved by the improvement of architecture.
