| 1 | Strategic Equipment Maintenance Management in a Medium Scale Quarry, Ogun State, Nigeria |
Poor performance of granite aggregate quarries is a big challenge to the mineral industry in Nigeria. It threatens the future prosperity of the industry and granite aggregate supply to meet the ever-increasing demand for infrastructural development projects. One major factor impacting on the reliability of quarries is the maintenance management system of the quarry equipment. This paper presents the present situation on equipment maintenance management system of Geoworld quarry in Ogun State, Nigeria. Maintenance management audit of the quarry was carried out through questionnaires with respect to five basic elements of maintenance management system (resource management, information management, preventive maintenance and equipment technology, planning and scheduling and maintenance support). “SWOT Clock” Strategic Behaviour Model was adapted to suggest a rationalistic typology for the quarry management in considering the quarry’s strategic direction on equipment maintenance based on the interaction between the quarry’s capabilities and resources from the view point of strengths and weaknesses (SW) and between the opportunities and threats (OT) identified in the quarry’s environment. Findings show that improvement strategies adopted will impart positively on the areas of deficiencies of the quarry by moving it from state of survival to growth. | Abdulraman S.
