AbstractThis paper reports on a study done on the maintenance system of an integrated pulp and paper mill. An investigation of the major causes of machine breakdowns and their possible prevention was conducted using a simplified version of the snap-shot modelling technique. A maintenance-by-priority system was formulated establishing machine criticality indices. Finally, three preventive maintenance policies, formulated on the basis of limiting efficiency and long run expected cost per unit time, were utilized. The selection of the optimal preventive maintenance policy for each of the six machine groups considered in the study was under taken
