AN IMPLEMENTATION OF INFRARED THERMOGRAPHY IN MAINTENANCE PLANS WITHIN A WORLD CLASS MANUFACTURING STRATEGY

Abstract

The objective of the paper is to show the implementation of infrared thermography within World Class Manufacturing (WCM) maintenance strategy. The results from infrared thermography inspections in a food processing and packaging solutions company were presented. Applicability of the infrared thermography, during a two-year period, caused a substantial reduction the potential breakdown in the pilot area. Upon feasibility confirmation, the proposed method was spread to other production equipment of the company.
