PLANT Maintenance

Unit-4
Production and Operation management-BBA209
Introduction:
Plant maintenance is an important service
function of an efficient production system.
Ithelps in maintaining and increasing the operational
efficiency of plant facilities.
Maintenanceis the procedure of finding the faults in
any equipment/Machine and also removal of fault.
It may be before the breakdown or after the breakdown.
Maintenance
Objectives:
Toincrease functional reliability of
production facilities.
Tomaximize the useful life of the
equipment.
To maximize production capacity from the
given equipment.
To minimize the total production cost.
Tominimize the frequency of interruption in
production by reducing breakdowns.
To enhance the safety of the manpower.
Maintenance objective
Impact of Poor maintenance
Production Capacity
Production cost
Product and service quality
Employee Or Customer Safety
Customer satisfaction
Different type of
maintenance:
Planned
Maintenance-
In planned maintenance the maintenance
action is carried out with some fore
thoughts, prior planning , record keeping
and control action. These can be further
classified as :-
Preventive maintenance
 Breakdown maintenance
Predictive maintenance
 It is based upon the principle that ‘prevention is
better than cure’.
It is a set of activities that are performed on plant
equipment, machinery, and systems before the
occurrence of a failure in order to protect them
and to prevent or eliminate any degradation in
their operating conditions.
 Or 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.
Routine Maintanence

 Running maintenance
 Shut down
maintenance
Running maintenance:
Running maintenance which includes those
maintenance activities that are carried out
while the machine or equipment is running.
Example – lubrication, adjustment of nuts
and screws, tightening of loose nut and
bolts.
Shut Down
Maintenance:
Which is a set of preventive maintenance activities
that are carried out when the production line is in
total stoppage situation.
Theseare performed generally after three or six
months.
These involves the inspection of plant items which
are known or suspected to occur.
Planned or Scheduled Maintenance:
Scheduled Maintenance is any variety of
scheduled maintenance to an object or
item of equipment.
Specifically,
Planned Maintenance is a
scheduled service visit carried out by a
competent and suitable agent, to ensure
that an item of equipment is operating
correctly and to therefore avoid any
unscheduled breakdown and downtime.
Good example of PM program is car
maintenance. After so many kilometers or
miles oil should be changed, parts
renewed.
Breakdown
It
Maintenance:
is an emergency based policy in which the
plant or equipment is operated until it fails
and then it is brought back into running
condition by repair.
The maintenance staff locate any
mechanical, electrical or any other fault to
correct it immediately.
It is feasible for the small factories where
1. There are few types of equipment.
2. Machine and equipments are simple and does
not require any specialist.
3. Where sudden failure does not cause any
serious financial loss.
Predictive
maintenance:
As the names implies it involves the
prediction of the failure before it occurs,
identifying the root cause for those failures
symptoms and eliminating those causes
before they result in extensive damage of
the equipment.
Type of maintenance performed
continuously or at intervals according to
the requirements to diagnose and monitor
a condition or system. Also called condition
based maintenance.
