Maintenance of equipment nowadays has a larger role in the firms as a result of huge development of equipment, and the production shifted from workers to machines, the control chart is a main tool in the statistical process control, it is used to promote quality level of maintenance of equipment, and control chart can assure lower average cycle time of maintenance procedure under using of Taguchi method of quality control, and several mathematical equations in the procedure will be used to find value of average cycle time in maintenance of equipment in the firm, because the role of maintenance increased, and it will force to reduce failure rates and defects amount which are proportional to higher quality level of applied maintenance. As a new subject, the research will study to combine four factors of maintenance, average cycle time, x-bar control chart, and quality level. As a new methodology, Taguchi method of quality control was used to obtain the result of aims of the research which are to achieve small average cycle time in the maintenance procedure.
