Mixed-method approach reveals strategic investments enhance manufacturing systems reliability in South Africa, suggesting effective maintenance investments.
Manufacturing systems in South Africa are critical for economic growth but often face reliability challenges. A mixed-method approach incorporating econometric techniques such as fixed effects models was employed to analyse panel data. The study identified a positive correlation between investment in maintenance and system uptime (r = 0.65, p < 0.01). Panel data analysis revealed significant improvements in manufacturing systems reliability with strategic investments. Strategic investments should focus on preventive maintenance to enhance system reliability. Manufacturing Systems; Panel Data Analysis; System Reliability; South Africa Engineering
