| dc.description.abstract | The Gas Turbine Compressor (GTC) plays a strategic role in sustaining oil
and gas production processes, yet its vulnerability to mechanical failures often
results in significant downtime. This study aims to evaluate the performance of the
GTC unit at PT XYZ using the Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM)
approach, along with Cost of Unreliability (COUR) analysis, to formulate a more
effective maintenance strategy. The analysis was conducted based on historical
failure and repair data for critical components—namely shaft coupling, bearing,
steam filter, and seal lube oil—collected over the period 2017 to 2021. Failure
distribution patterns were identified using the Anderson-Darling test, with results
indicating that Weibull and Lognormal distributions best fit the observed data
characteristics. The findings revealed that the shaft coupling and seal lube oil
exhibited low reliability and high Mean Time to Repair (MTTR), while availability
trends among components were relatively consistent. COUR analysis identified the
shaft coupling as the largest contributor to financial loss due to downtime,
amounting to approximately IDR 1.12 billion during the observation period. Based
on the failure mode consequences and the company’s target system reliability of
97.5%, a Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) strategy was proposed,
recommending optimal maintenance intervals between 1,500 to 3,000 operating
hours for the critical components.
