Preventive Maintenance System (PMS)

1. Introduction to Preventive Maintenance


Preventive Maintenance (PM) refers to regular, routine maintenance actions
taken on equipment, machinery, or infrastructure to prevent unexpected
breakdowns, extend the lifespan of assets, and maintain operational efficiency.
It involves scheduled inspections, adjustments, cleaning, and replacement of
parts, which are performed according to manufacturer recommendations or
industry best practices.

2. Why is Preventive Maintenance Important?


Preventive maintenance is essential for several reasons:
1. Minimizing Downtime: By performing regular maintenance, the
likelihood of unexpected equipment failures is reduced, keeping
operations running smoothly.
2. Extending Equipment Lifespan: Regular maintenance helps prevent
wear and tear, ultimately prolonging the useful life of machinery and
assets.
3. Improved Safety: Regular inspections help identify potential safety
hazards before they lead to accidents or damage.
4. Cost Savings: While preventive maintenance involves upfront costs, it is
generally more cost-effective than reactive maintenance, which can be
much more expensive and disruptive.
5. Optimized Efficiency: Well-maintained equipment runs more efficiently,
reducing energy consumption and optimizing performance.

3. Key Components of a Preventive Maintenance System
A well-structured Preventive Maintenance System typically includes the
following components:
a) Asset Inventory
7. What it is: A detailed list of all the equipment, machinery, and systems
that require maintenance.
8. Why it’s important: Knowing what you have and its maintenance needs
is essential for organizing and scheduling PM tasks.
b) Maintenance Schedule
9. What it is: A calendar or timeline for when each piece of equipment will
undergo maintenance tasks (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly, annually).
10.Why it’s important: A schedule ensures that maintenance tasks are
carried out consistently and on time, preventing missed maintenance that
could lead to failures.
c) Maintenance Checklists
11.What it is: Standardized lists of tasks to be performed during each
maintenance cycle. These checklists may include inspections, cleaning,
lubrication, part replacements, etc.
12.Why it’s important: Checklists ensure that nothing is overlooked during
inspections or maintenance procedures and that best practices are
followed.
d) Technician Skills and Training
13.What it is: Technicians who perform the PM tasks need to be properly
trained and have the necessary skills and knowledge.
14.Why it’s important: Properly trained personnel are critical to ensuring
