The outcome of this Thesis is to recommend the rebuild work sequence process map and the rebuild work instructions within it for the Case Company’s global rebuild business. The rebuild concept provides the life extension for the underground mining equipment, which are in the end of the expected lifetime, to restore the machine’s condition near to its original level in terms of performance, availability, and productivity. As the rebuild business offering is fairly new concept for the Case Company, and the implementations of the proper work instructions did not follow the same path with the global demands, it is recommended to standardize the rebuild processes globally by the standard rebuild work sequences and the rebuild work instructions at this stage already.
The research approach of this Thesis was a design research and includes the four stages where the first stage is a current state analysis, which provides the strengths and weaknesses of the current process and the second stage, the literature review, combines the findings and insights from the selected literatures for the first stage findings and provides a conceptual framework. The third stage recommends the initial rebuild work sequence process map and the rebuild work instructions and the fourth, the validation stage includes the final recommendations for the rebuild work sequence process map and the rebuild work instructions.
The outcome of this Thesis is the final recommendations for the rebuild work sequence process map and the rebuild work instruction examples within it. Standard way of working in the rebuild project improves the safety, quality, lead-time and the customer satisfaction.
