Introduction to maintenance

Maintenance
All actions necessary for retaining an item, or restoring to it, a serviceable condition, include servicing, repair, modification, overhaul, inspection and condition verification Increase availability of a system Keep systems equipment in working order

The term maintenance means to keep the equipment in operational condition or repair it to its operational mode. Maintenance management involves managing the functions of maintenance. Main objective of the maintenance is to have increased availability of production systems, with increased safety and optimized cost.

maintenance Management is an orderly and systematic approach to planning, organizing, monitoring and evaluating maintenance activities and their costs.

Purpose of Maintenance
Attempt to maximize performance of production equipment efficiently and regularly Prevent breakdown or failures Minimize production loss from failures Increase reliability of the operating systems

Principle Objectives in Maintenance


To achieve product quality and customer satisfaction through adjusted and serviced equipment Maximize useful life of equipment Keep equipment safe and prevent safety hazards Minimize frequency and severity of interruptions Maximize production capacity through high utilization of facility

Problems in Maintenance
Lack of management attention to maintenance Little participation by accounting in analyzing and reporting costs Difficulties in applying quantitative analysis Difficulties in obtaining time and cost estimates for maintenance works Difficulties in measuring performance

Problems Exist Due To:


Failure to develop written objectives and policy Inadequate budgetary control Inadequate control procedures for work order, service requests etc. Infrequent use of standards To control maintenance work Absence of cost reports to aid maintenance planning and control system

Maintenance Objectives
Must be consistent with the goals of production (cost, quality, delivery, safety) Must be comprehensive and include specific responsibilities

Maintenance Costs
Cost to replace or repair Losses of output Delayed shipment Scrap and rework

FUNTIONS OF A MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT


Following are the major functions of a maintenance department: Maintenance of installed equipment and facilities Installations of new equipment and facilities PM tasks Inspection and lubrication of existing equipment CM tasks monitoring of faults and failures using appropriate techniques Modifications of already installed equipment and facilities Management of inventory Supervision of manpower Keeping records

ELEMENTS OF EFFECTIVE MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT


An effective maintenance system includes the following elements: Maintenance Policy Control of materials Preventive Maintenance Condition Monitoring Work Order Job planning Priority and backlog control Data recording system Performance measurement measures or indices
