PMF-MCR Platform — TTCL NICTBB Generator Maintenance Cost Reduction Study

Questionnaire A — SO1

Factors Affecting Generator Maintenance Costs | 10–12 min | Strictly Confidential

Section A: Respondent Information

Role *

Years on NICTBB power systems *

Primary site region

Site Name *

Section B: Factor Ratings

Scale: 1 = Very Low Impact | 2 = Low | 3 = Moderate | 4 = High | 5 = Very High Impact

Statement / Factor	1	2	3	4	5

Section C: Short Questions

15. What is the single most important factor driving high maintenance costs at your site?

16. Is the current 3-month calendar maintenance standard appropriate for all sites regardless of utilization?

Yes No Unsure

Brief reason:

Questionnaire B — SO2 & SO3

Model Calibration and Validation | 8–10 min | Strictly Confidential

Respondent Information

Role *

Years managing NICTBB generators

Section B: MTI Model Validation

MTI = MTBF × RCF, where RCF = 0.85 for tropical conditions | Scale: 1 = Strongly Disagree … 5 = Strongly Agree

Statement	1	2	3	4	5

Section C: TMC Cost Component Estimates (TZS)

Enter approximate cost per maintenance event at a typical NICTBB site

Expected maintenance cost reduction (%) at a low-utilization site through run-hour scheduling:

Main limitation of calibrating the MTI model from NMS data:

Questionnaire C — SO4
