Abstract
Determination of the priority of the Machines had been interested, with many specialized studies in maintenance field. And it’s consider one of the important success factors for maintenance operations management. Determining the priority of Machines helps Maintenance Management to identify the critical machines. And directing the maintenance efforts towards those machines. In order to reducing the machines downtime. There are many qualitative and quantitative methods, which can be use to determine that priority. Those methods include the use of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (A H P). This model had been characterized with the ability of dealing with any number of criteria, that the industrial organization develops it for the determination of the priority of the machines. Based on this, the article aims to determine the priority of the machines, in the production line of the General Company for South Refineries., in the light of the three criteria (failure dangerous on the safety of employees and on the level of production – failure frequency – checking the machine for detecting the failures). The research found that the vacuum distillation machines, is the first in priority, so the maintenance management must carry out maintenance operations for this machine more than the other machines.
