The document discusses the history and development of maintenance practices. It notes that pre-World War II, maintenance was seen as an added cost and was limited to fixing equipment after it broke. Post-World War II, preventive maintenance was developed as a cheaper alternative and maintenance was recognized as an important production function. Nowadays, awareness of issues like safety, quality and the environment have made maintenance a key factor for business success, requiring well-organized maintenance programs.
2. 1. In the period of pre-World War II, people thought of
maintenance as an added cost to the plant which did
not increase the value of finished product.
Therefore, the maintenance at that era was
restricted to fixing the unit when it breaks because
it was the cheapest alternative
3. 2. During and after World War II at the time when the
advances of engineering and scientific technology
developed, people developed other types of
maintenance, which were much cheaper such as
preventive maintenance.
In addition, people in this era classified
maintenance as a function of the production system.
4. Fix the equipment
when it breaks
-Term terotechnology
introduced.
-Recognition of need to
present equipment
failures.
-Models for preventive
maintenance
developed.
-Increased awareness
of:
-Environment
-Safety
-Quality
-Need for reliable
equipment.
-Reduction in costs.

5. 3. Nowadays, increased awareness of such issues as
environment safety, quality of product and services
makes maintenance one of the most important
functions that contribute to the success of the
industry.
World-class companies are in
continuous need of a very well organised
maintenance programme to compete world-wide.
6. Management is the process of designing and maintaining an
environment in which individuals, working together in
groups, efficiently accomplish selected goals1. In other
words, “Management is the process of planning, organizing,
leading, and controlling the efforts of organization members
and of using all other organizational resources to achieve
stated organizational goals”
7. Wordsworth, 2001, noted the definition of
‘maintenance’ as stated in Chartered Institute of
Building defining; “Work undertaken in order to keep,
restore or improve every facility, i.e., every part of
building, its services and surrounds, to an agreed
standard, determined by the balance between need
and available resources”.’
8. • On the other hand, BS 3811: 1984 defines ‘maintenance’
as:‘A combination of any actions carried out to retain an item
in, or restore it to an acceptable condition’.
• Chanter et al., 1996, explained the two key components that
can be identified:
Actions relate not only to the physical execution of
maintenance work; also those concerned with its initiation,
organisation and financing.
The notion of an acceptable condition: implies understanding
requirements for effective usage of buildings and their parts,
which in turn compels broader consideration of building
performance.
9. According to Othman (1996) maintenance management “is
a management system, or procedure, designed to allow
building owners or managers to look after system, efficient,
well organized and cost effective manner”. In other words,
the maintenance manager combats the effects of physical
deterioration in an attempt to maintain the premise at the
level comparable to its initial condition. Therefore
maintenance management covers most of the building
operation and maintenance function.
10. Maintenance Management can be
devided into

2. Building Maintenance Management
11. Vision Statement
To provide and maintain a beautiful, clean, safe, and
healthy campus environment that is maintained at
required standards mechanically, electrically and
structurally for the use and enjoyment of the
students, staff, and public in support of the
university’s mission of becoming the best land grant
institution through learning, scholarship, and
engagemen
12. Mission Statement
Building Maintenance strives to provide professional,
technical, and non-technical support and services to
students, staff, faculty and visitors to create and
maintain a comfortable, safe, and functional campus
environment
.
13. Maintenance objectives should be consistent with
and subordinate to production goals.
The relation between maintenance objectives and
production goals is reflected in the action of keeping
production machines and facilities in the best
possible condition.
14. Maximising production or increasing facilities
availability at the lowest cost and at the highest
quality and safety standards.
Reducing breakdowns and emergency shutdowns.
Optimising resources utilisation.
Reducing downtime.
Improving spares stock control.
15. Improving equipment efficiency and reducing scrap
rate.
Minimising energy usage.
Optimising the useful life of equipment.
Providing reliable cost and budgetary control.
Identifying and implementing cost reductions.

Figure 2.3 Maintenance Objectives
24. I. Minimizing the loss of productive time because of
equipment failure (i.e. minimizing idle time of
equipment due to break down).
II. Minimizing the repair time and repair cost.
III. Minimizing the loss due to production stoppages.
IV. Efficient use of maintenance personnel and
equipments.
V. Prolonging the life of capital assets by minimizing
the rate of wear and tear.
25. VI.To keep all productive assets in good working conditions.
VII.To maximize efficiency and economy in production through
optimum use of facilities.
VIII.To minimize accidents through regular inspection and repair
of safety devices.
IX.To minimize the total maintenance cost which includes the cost
of repair, cost of preventive maintenance and inventory carrying
costs, due to spare parts inventory.
X.To improve the quality of products and to improve productivity.
