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.
