AN ASSESSMENT OF MAINTENANCE CULTURE
IN NIGERIA AIR FORCE PRINTING PRESSES
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the study
The
maintenance culture in Nigeria is nothing to write home about. That is the reason why many factories
collapse as a result of lack of preventive maintenance culture which leads to
collapse of buildings, equipment’s, machines and the factory as a whole.
Maintenance break down or preventive is very necessary for the continuing
survival of a factory. It is with good
maintenance culture that appropriate sound and functional machinery, equipment
and tools can be maintained which would facilitate continuing operation of and
industry. In a situation when parts are
allowed to break down without replacement or servicing there would be system
break-down which could lead to disruptions of production. If equipment is not up to date and functional
quality products and or services cannot be produced. In Nigeria, greed,
non-challant attitude corruption and some other factors seriously impede
maintenance culture and hence disruptions of production activities in
factories. When this occurs customers
are not provided with choice and sometimes non-existence of the products or
services is experienced. Employees also
suffer from the effects of non-maintenance culture in Nigeria.Infrastructural
development is the basis and bedrock of any development effort in the world
today. It is important to stress that, it is not enough for facilities of
development to be put in place; it is more than enough for these facilities to
be adequately and properly maintained so that the purpose for which they are
meant would be accomplished. However, the attitude of people towards public
facilities is that of government property that do not belong to anybody
(Adeleye, 2009). To this extent facilities that were meant to benefit the masses
are just rotting away, being wasted without being put to any good use as people
are not interested in making such facilities sustainable. The result therefore,
is that public facilities do not last long due to lack of maintenance. This
shows that without a strong maintenance culture, infrastructural development
will amount to nothing. The phrase maintenance culture could therefore be seen
as an important one that should be defined to have a proper understanding of
what it stands for in the process of sustainable development. Ajibola (2009)
defines culture as “The shared belief and values of a group; the beliefs,
customs, practices and social behavior of a particular nation or people”. He
defined maintenance as “The work that is done regularly to keep a machine,
building or a piece of equipment in good conditions”. He expatiated further
that maintenance is a combination of actions carried out to retain an item in
or to restore the item to an acceptable condition. When it comes to aircraft,
the issue of age, you can think about it but again what you must focus on
really is the serviceability.You could have an aircraft, maybe 52 years old.
But it is still being effectively utilized for war. It’s your maintenance
schedule. If you give it the best of maintenance, sometimes an aircraft that is
even 20 years old may even be airworthier than the ones that are just about two
years old.It depends on maintenance approach and the culture that you have been
developed over the years.The role of aircraft maintenance, simply put, is to
ensure that aircraft presented “on the line” for flight operations comply
with:all legal requirements (e.g. continuing airworthiness requirements,
airworthiness directives, certificate of release to service, type certificate
and supplementary type certificate),operational equipage requirements (e.g.
oxygen systems, first aid, and flotation devices), and appropriate equipment
for the type of operation being flown (e.g. communication, navigation and
surveillance).Furthermore, where maintenance is conducted under contract by a
third-party maintenance and repair organization, each airline customer may have
other specific requirements (e.g. additional safety features, technical
solutions, and issues such as in-flight entertainment and seating aircraft
discrepancy (physical degradation or failure) attributed to the actions of the
aircraft maintenance technician”. Rankin (1997), in examining the experience of
the Boeing organization, reports that improper maintenance contributes to 15
per cent of commercial jet accidents. Based on Boeing’s experience, Marx (1998)
calculated that in the USA alone the number of commercial aircraft dispatched
each year with a maintenance error is roughly 48,800. It is in this view the
researcher want to assess the maintenance culture of Nigeria air force printing
presses
1.1 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
It is with
good maintenance culture that appropriate sound and functional machinery,
equipment and tools can be maintained which would facilitate continuing
operation of and industry. In a
situation when parts are allowed to break down without replacement or servicing
there would be system collapse which could lead to disruptions of production.
If you give it the best of maintenance, sometimes an aircraft that is even 20
years old may even be airworthier than the ones that are just about two years
old.
1.2 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
The main
objective of this study is an assessment of maintenance culture in Nigeria air
force printing presses. But for the successful completion of the study; the
researcher intends to achieve the following sub-objectives;
1. To ascertain the effect of non-maintenance
of Nigeria air force printing presses on the efficiency of the force
2. To assess the quality of maintenance culture imbibe in Nigeria air
force
3. To ascertain what causes non maintenance in
Nigeria air force
4. To ascertain the relationship between
maintenance culture in Nigeria air force and the efficiency of the printing
press
1.3 RESEARCH HYPOTHESES
For the
successful completion of the study, the following research hypotheses were
formulated by the researcher;
H0: there is
no maintenance culture in Nigeria air force
H1: there is
maintenance culture in Nigeria air force
H02: there
is no significant relationship between maintenance culture in Nigeria air force
and the efficiency of the printing press
H2:there is
a significant relationship between maintenance culture in Nigeria air force and
the efficiency of the printing press
1.5SIGNIFICANCE
OF THE STUDY
It is
believed that at the completion of the study, the findings will be of benefit
to the ministry of aviation. It will help to know benefit of carrying out
maintenance culture in Nigeria air force.The study will also be of great
benefit to the researchers who intends to embark on research on similar topics
as it will serve as a guide. Finally, the study will be of great importance to
academia’s, lecturers, teachers, students and the general public.
1.2 SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
The scope of
the study covers an assessment of maintenance culture in Nigeria air force
printing presses. The researcher
encounters some constrain which limited the scope of the study;
a)
AVAILABILITY OF RESEARCH MATERIAL: The research material available to the
researcher is insufficient, thereby limiting the study
b) TIME: The
time frame allocated to the study does not enhance wider coverage as the
researcher has to combine other academic activities and examinations with the
study.
c)
Organizational privacy: Limited Access to the selected auditing firm makes it
difficult to get all the necessary and required information concerning the
activities.
1.7
DEFINITION OF TERMS
ASSESSMENT:
The action of assessing someone or something.
MAINTENANCE:
The process of preserving a condition or situation or the state of being
preserved.
MAINTENANCE
CULTURE: Culture, on the other hand, is a way of life, a lifestyle, customs,
traditions, habits that portray the attributes of a person/people. Maintenance
culture is an attitude which is sadly lacking in Nigeria, whether in the home,
office, school or factory.
AIRFORCE: An
air force, also known in some countries as an air army, is in the broadest
sense, the national military branch that primarily conducts aerial warfare.
1.8
ORGANIZATION OF THE STUDY
