Awareness, FMEA, FTA, OTR, TireAbstract
Open-pit coal mining uses haul trucks as the main equipment to transport material from the loading front to the dumping point, with operating costs reaching 50–60%. Poor OTR tire maintenance can cause premature damage, reduce tire service life, and increase operating costs, resulting in unmet KPI targets. Tire costs are the second-largest expense in the mining industry. In this study, tire waste due to premature scrap reached IDR 1,383,090,656.87 with 12 types of tire damage. This research aims to identify root causes and contributing factors of tire damage based on failure types to extend tire life and reduce operating costs. The study integrated maintenance analysis framework Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) using Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) and Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA). FTA shows that the main cause of inner liner separation is low operator tire awareness (9%). FMEA results indicate that Inner Liner Separation has the highest Risk Priority Number (RPN) of 343. Recommended improvements include proper tire inflation control, rim maintenance, good operating practices, and improved housekeeping. Achieving optimal tire life is a shared responsibility across all departments.
