Abstract

This research tries to establish an optimum life cycle cost (LCC) based strategy model of equipments’ purchasing and maintenance. The study integrates the technique of failure modes and effect analysis (FMEA) and analysis of equipment maintenance cost to optimize LCC of equipments’ decision in order to sustain and promote the firms’ competitive capability. A revised FMEA table will be utilized to collect data and demonstrate the relevance among estimated failure cost, severity of effect and cost of actions-taken that constructs the main frame of the method. Finally, this study uses an equipment group in assembly house of semiconductor, S company as a case study to prove the model’s applicability and suitability.
