Study Notes
Preventive Maintenance Overview
- Main goal is to reduce the probability of equipment failure through regular maintenance and inspections.
- Focuses on scheduled maintenance activities to enhance reliability and performance of equipment.
Principles and Procedures
- Associated principle is the proactive approach, emphasizing the importance of preventive actions.
- Procedure involves systematic planning, scheduling, and executing maintenance tasks to prevent unexpected downtime.
Objectives
- Objectives include reducing downtime, improving safety, enhancing equipment lifespan, and optimizing production.
- NOT an objective: eliminating all types of maintenance, as some level of other maintenance is needed.
Cost Reduction
- Contributes to cost reduction by avoiding expensive emergency repairs and minimizing production disruptions.
Preventive Maintenance Plan
- Key step involves identifying critical assets and determining the necessary maintenance activities based on their operational requirements.
Definition and Involvement
- Maintenance defined as the actions performed to keep equipment in optimal working condition.
- Key personnel involved include maintenance technicians, engineers, and planners who support preventive maintenance strategies.
Tools and Management
- SAP is considered a premier tool in PM management for its ability to integrate and automate maintenance processes, enhancing efficiency and tracking.
Focus of Preventive Maintenance
- Main focus is on managing equipment reliability to avoid failures and maintain seamless operations.
Types of Maintenance
- Planned maintenance is aimed at avoiding production stoppage through scheduled upkeep.
- Reactive (run-to-failure) maintenance is applicable when equipment is low-cost or non-critical, and replacement is more economical than prior maintenance.
- This type waits until equipment fails before any corrective action is taken.
- Reactive maintenance equipment often displays predictable and low-frequency failure patterns.
- Condition-based maintenance involves taking action based on real-time data about the machinery’s performance and health.
