The document summarizes a case study on implementing design-out maintenance (DOM) on a pump-motor set with frequent bearing failures. [1] Initial failure analysis found the mean time to failure of the bearings was 37 days, with annual failure costs of INR 355,000. [2] On-site and off-site inspections identified excessive bearing pre-load and high vibration levels as likely causes. [3] Corrective actions including adjusting bearing fits and alignment increased the mean time to failure to over 2066 days, significantly reducing failure costs.
