Application of Improved Strategies Enhancing Plant Practices: A Case Study is an attempt to explore and diagnose the problems associated with a Transformer manufacturing plant and give proper solutions to the prevailing ones. The transformer is essentially a static electromagnetic device that works on the principle of electromagnetic induction. The main purpose of a power or distribution transformer is to transfer electric power from one voltage level to another. Failure of one transformer may cause long interruptions in supply, costly repairs and loss of revenue. It is therefore highly desirable to detect incipient failure as early as possible.

Implementation of Design Out Maintenance: A Case Study reflects the use of DOM strategy to increase the onsite availability of hot forging machines. The maintenance techniques like design-out maintenance can greatly aid the maintenance engineer to remove or minimize the cause of breakdown maintenance. The result can be a reduction in downtime and maximizing plant utilization with efficient and greater availability of the machine. In heavy machines like the forging press, all the parts should be checked and maintained regularly for the working of the machine safely and efficiently. If a part breaks periodically and the part is repaired and replaced without knowing the root cause of the failure, the result of the breakdown failure will be a recurrence.
