Evaluation of the Implementation of the Planned Maintenance System in Improving Docking Time Efficiency and Maintenance Cost Control of TB. Flores 1 at PT. Bintang Samudera Mandiri Lines
Abstract
The efficiency of ship maintenance is essential to ensure operational readiness, minimize docking duration, and control maintenance costs. In practice, the implementation of the Planned Maintenance System (PMS) on TB. Flores 1 at PT Bintang Samudera Mandiri Lines is influenced by operational schedules, maintenance windows, crew workload, equipment conditions, spare-part availability, procurement lead time, and ship-shore coordination. This study aims to evaluate the existing implementation of PMS, analyze its implications for docking time efficiency and maintenance cost control, and identify supporting and inhibiting factors as well as strategies for PMS optimization. The research employed a qualitative evaluative case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, followed by thematic analysis and source and technique triangulation. The findings indicate that PMS has been implemented through maintenance planning, execution, monitoring, documentation, and coordination; however, its effectiveness remains influenced by overdue maintenance, limited maintenance windows, spare-part delays, hidden defects, additional work, and coordination issues. PMS supports docking efficiency and cost control primarily through early defect identification, reliable maintenance history, accurate repair lists, pre-docking readiness, and improved material and budget preparation. The study concludes that PMS should be developed from a scheduling and recording system into an integrated maintenance management system. It is recommended to strengthen overdue control, critical-equipment monitoring, spare-part planning, documentation, pre-docking assessment, cost integration, human-resource competence, and an integrated PMS dashboard.
