MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE
It is the oldest type of maintenance and it required that repair after the
occurrence of a failure
Then CMMS and EAM systems will provide much more functionality
than required.
2. Preventive Maintenance (PM)
Less break
Element of Preventive Maintenance
There are seven major elements of preventive maintenance which a maintenance
engineer must be conversant with and these are listed below
TESTING:
SERVICING:
CALIBRATION:
This implies the detection and adjustment of any changes in the accuracy of the
parameters of the system under comparison to the established standard value.
INSPECTION:
ADJUSTMENT:
ALIGNMENT:
INSTALLATION:
1. Remedial maintenance
2. Deferred(postponed) maintenance
Fault detection
Fault isolation
Note: In the fault elimination step several actions could be taken such
as adjusting, aligning, calibrating, reworking, removing, replacing or
renovation.
Corrective maintenance has several prerequisites in order to be carried
out effectively:
5. Verification of repair.
4 Improvement Maintenance (IM)
1. Design-out maintenance
2. Engineering services
which includes:
Rearrangement of facilities.
• Autonomous(indpendent) Maintenance
• Focused Improvement
• Planned Maintenance
• Quality management
• Early/equipment management
Environmental impact
intervention;
equipment.
Other examples:
The reason for such high level of availability is generally high cost
in production due to a fault.
