摘要
This research study sought to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the current maintenance practices at a sand casting manufacturing company which is principally a ferrous foundry producing grey and white iron. The work suggested good practices which could be taken on board and others which could be improved on. The generated recommendations can be used by other foundries to enhance their operations for maintenance efficiency to save on resources and improve operational bottom line.
