Maintenance Management
• Modern maintenance management is not to repair broken equipment rapidly.
Modern maintenance management is to keep the equipment running at high
capacity and produce quality products at lowest cost possible.
• Maintenance is a set of organized activities that are carried out in order to
keep the item in its best operational condition with minimum cost required.

Planned Maintenance
In planned maintenance the maintenance is carried out with some fore
thoughts, prior planning, record keeping and control actions.
These can be further classified as:
• Preventive Maintenance
• Corrective Maintenance
• Predictive Maintenance
Preventive Maintenance
• Based on the principle that ‘prevention is better than cure’.
• Involves performing maintenance activities before the equipment fails.
• It is a set of activities that are performed on plant equipment, machinery and
system before the occurrence of a failure in order to prevent or eliminate any
degradation in their operating conditions.
• It is the maintenance carried out at predetermined intervals or according to
prescribed criteria and intended to reduce the probability of failure or the
degradation of the functioning and the effects limited.
• It has three types
Running Maintenance
Scheduled Maintenance
Shut down Maintenance
1. SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
• Time based maintenance consists of periodically inspecting, servicing and
cleaning equipment and replacing parts to prevent sudden failure and process
problems.
2. RUNNING MAINTENANCE
• It is a scheduled service visit carried out by an agent, to ensure that an item of
equipment is operating correctly and to therefore avoid any unscheduled
breakdown and downtime.
3. SHUTDOWN MAINTENANCE
• That can only be performed when the equipment, machine, or plant has been
put out of service.
Corrective Maintenance
• In this type, actions such as repair, replacement, or restore will be carried out
after the occurrence of a failure in order to eliminate the source of this failure
or reduce the frequency of its occurrence.
• It also include the different types of actions like typical adjustment of redesign
equipment.
• The difference between corrective maintenance and preventive maintenance
is that for the corrective maintenance, the failure should occur before any
corrective action is taken.
• It is of two types
Breakdown Maintenance
Shutdown Maintenance
1. BREAKDOWN MAINTENANCE
• It means repairing is done when equipment fails. Such a thing could be used
when the equipment failure does not significantly affect the operation or
production or generate any significant loss other than repair cost.
2. SHUTDOWN MAINTENANCE
• That can only be performed when the equipment, machine or plant has been
put out of service.
Predictive Maintenance
• As the name implies, it involves the prediction of the failure before it occurs,
identifying the root cause for those failure symptoms and eliminating those
causes before they result in extensive damage of the equipment.
• Types of maintenance performed continuously or at intervals according to the
requirements to diagnose and monitor a condition or system.
UNPLANNED MAINTENANCE
• Maintenance action which is carried out without any fore thoughts or prior
planning is called unplanned maintenance.
• Emergency maintenance is one of the example of unplanned maintenance.
• In this type of maintenance the maintenance action is executed with the help
of all available maintenance resources in least possible time, without any
major time lag.
• Examples are gas leakage in chemical plant, fire hazards, breakdown of boiler,
turbine etc.
