Task 1 - Maintenance \& Simulation A leading private hospital located in a rural area in Oman has a 1500 KVA Generator Set which is mainly used as a power backup for the hospital. Non-availability of the generator can lead to interruption in the hospital activities including surgeries. The maintenance department of the company is considering taking preventive measures to ensure maximum possible uptime of the generator by analyzing the historical data of breakdowns of the generator which was taken from the hospital's civil \& maintenance department. Table T1 shows the frequency of breakdown of the generator set over the past year, which is taken from the hospital's civil \& maintenance department. Table T1a - Frequency of breakdown of the generator in the past year a. From the data given in Table T1a, prepare a probability distribution table (PDT). (10 Marks) b. Using the random numbers given in the Table T1b, simulate the probable breakdowns of the generator for the next 40 weeks. Table T1 b - Random Number Table (15 Marks) c. From this information obtained, suggest a suitable maintenance policy the hospital maintenance department has to adopt to avoid power disruption in the hospital activities. Justify with proper reasons. (05 Marks)
