Abstract

Maintenance is one of the Inseparable parts of each Industry and relations between this part and others consist of many dynamics and feedbacks. By this regard systems dynamic is a tool that can be used to analyze this part. In this paper for a company that produces Wire and cable, cause and effect (feedbacks) between maintenance and others part are modeled. After creating stock-flow diagram, model validation analyzed with Behavior Reproduction, Extreme Condition, and Sensitivity test. Also after model validation, effect of changing companies attitude from corrective maintenance to preventive maintenance, discussed. Results show this shifting is beneficial for company from different views and increase sales and customers. By this regard company managers should increase their Attention to preventive maintenance.
