Abstract

In telecommunications business, the performance of BTS become very important role. The BTS performance should be in good condition and ready to operate anytime. In the event that causes disruption of BTS and BTS fail to operate and break down, this situation will effect to loss of potential revenue and lead to loss of consumer loyalty to the company. Hence is needed an effective treatment for maintaining BTS so that availability and performance of BTS can be maintained properly.
The method used in the treatment of BTS in this study to determine treatment priorities of existing equipment in the BTS based on vital functions and data destruction in order to obtain its value MTTF and MTTR,is the RCM method (Reliability Centered Maintenance) and to determine the optimal number of sites crew for treatment BTS. is used LCC method (Life Cycle Cost )
By using the RCM method, the results of the determination of the critical components based on damage data, are obtained seven set of equipment as critical components. They are BKCM, battery, generator, converter, arrester, sensor and AC and obtained each value of MTTF and MTTR. While the number of site crew required in the BTS treatment based on the results of calculation and data processing with the LCC method, obtained the most optimal amount based on the cost is 4 site crews.
