One of the important parameter in bearing manufacturing industry is high quality products with high precision, good surface finish and accuracy. To achieve production targets and quality standards in bearing manufacturing industry, one of the key department is maintenance, which maintain machines to perform up to its highest capabilities. Reliability is the quality of being trustworthy or performing consistently well. Reliability is also key tool to measure maintenance system performance and capability. Under reliability there are few pillars which decide reliability score. Some of that key pillars are computerized maintenance management system (CMMS), planned maintenance, redesigning, roles and responsibilities. In particular pillars also specific tasks are perform to increase reliability score. In this paper Failure mode effect analysis is proposed for grinding machines to detect critical machines and increase reliability of maintenance activities on these machines. CMMS is one of the main measures for reliability score. CMMS helps to reduce data gathering. It helps for data analyzing also. CMMS is tool that can use for maintenance planning as well. In this work, CMMS is used for improving reliability of maintenance activities.
