1. What methods are used in this research?
The research utilizes reliability centered maintenance (RCM) and maintenance value stream mapping (MVSM) methods. RCM involves data processing techniques such as flowcharts, Pareto diagrams, mean time to failure (MTTF), failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), and likelihood-to-action (LTA). MVSM is used to analyze the maintenance value stream of the production floor. Both methods are applied to the data obtained from XYZ, which includes information on damage to various machines in 2021. The research aims to understand the relationships between parts and phenomena on the production floor, specifically in the production of white bread, sweet bread, and dry sugar bread at XYZ located in Jl.Plam Griya Indah Desert Lawas, Padang.

2. What is the purpose of FMEA in machine maintenance?
FMEA, or Failure Mode and Effects Analysis, is a method used to evaluate system design by considering the various failure modes of the system consisting of components and analyzing their effects on the reliability of the system. It aims to identify potential failure modes, their causes, and their effects on the system. By calculating the Risk Priority Number (RPN), which is the mathematical product of the seriousness of the effect (severity), the likelihood that a cause will result in a failure related to the effect (occurrence), and the ability to detect failures before they occur (detection), FMEA helps prioritize components that require corrective action. This ensures that critical components are addressed first, improving the overall reliability and efficiency of the machine maintenance process.

3. What is Logic Tree Analysis (LTA) used for?
Logic Tree Analysis (LTA) is used to prioritize each damage mode in a system. It involves a simple logical question or decision structure categorized into four categories, with each question answered as 'Yes' or 'No'. The important aspects of criticality analysis include evidentness, safety, outage, and categorization. In this section, components are divided into four categories based on these criteria. LTA helps in critically analyzing the possibilities that can occur in the system, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of potential failure modes and their consequences.

4. What are the types of actions in the action selection stage?
In the action selection stage, there are three types of actions: Condition Directed (CD), Time Directed (TD), and Finding Failure (FF). Condition Directed actions involve detecting damage through visual inspection, tool inspection, and monitoring existing data. If damage is detected, repair or replacement of components is carried out. Time Directed actions aim to prevent damage based on the component's age or time. Finding Failure actions involve periodic inspections to discover hidden equipment damage. Additionally, the Run to Failure approach involves using a component until it is completely damaged without taking preventive actions. These actions are determined through FMEA and LTA, considering the frequency of damage and economic impact on the company.
