3. Introduction to Maintenance Engineering
 Maintenance is the discipline of applying engineering concepts for the
optimization of equipment, procedures, and departmental budgets.
 It is all about achieving better maintainability, reliability, and availability of
equipmentes, these tasks are performed by maintenance engineers.
 In a nutshell Maintenance is all about to ensure a unit is fit for purpose, with
maximum availability at minimum costs.
 Responsibilities include:
1. Estimation of maintenance costs and evaluation of alternatives
2. Assure optimization of the Maintenance Organization structure
3. Analysis of repetitive equipment failures & reporting safety hazards
03

4. Introduction to Maintenance Engineering
 Maintenance is work that is carried out to preserve an asset, e.g heating boiler,
equipmentes and machinery within an industry & enables its continued use.
 It is the procedure of finding the faults in any equipment/Machine and removal of
that fault.
 Maintenance Types:
1. Preventive Maintenance
2. Corrective Maintenance
3. Predictive Maintenance
4. Emergency Maintenance

5. Maintenance Inspections
 In engineering activities inspection involves the measurements, tests, and gauges
applied to certain characteristics regarding an object or activity.
 Whereas Maintenance Inspection is the process of evaluation the condition of
equipment or machines.
 The purpose of a maintenance inspection is to determine what tools, materials, and
labor are needed to keep them in good working condition.
 Maintenance inspections can identify minor issues before they turn into costly
repairs as well as it ensures that machines are working correctly and helps prevent
equipment downtime.

6. Maintenance Inspections
 The best maintenance inspection programs include:
1. Condition-monitoring routes cover all needed inspections
2. Simple inspection tools (vibration pen, bright flashlight & infrared thermometer)
3. Oil containers, clear gauges, base bolts are clean & facilitate accurate inspections
4. Maintenance staff is educated and trained in basic inspection processes
 Ideally, maintenance inspections are scheduled, completed on time, and documented
with a CMMS (Computerized maintenance management system) or similar maintenance
software.

7. Maintenance Inspections Types
 Types of maintenance inspection:
1. Safety inspections 5. HVAC Inspections
2. Failure finding inspections 6. Building interior inspections
3. Lighting inspections 7. Building exterior inspections
4. Electrical inspections 8. Plumbing inspection
1. Safety inspections
 It can include everything from checking and restocking first aid kids to inspecting
fall protection and harness equipment.
 It can also include checking those components of machinery and equipment that
are critical for safe operation.

2. Failure finding inspections
 These inspections check the operation of back-up or protective devices that cannot
be readily checked unless a primary system fails.
 Failure instances must be simulated to test these components of equipment or
machinery.
3. Lighting inspections
 Bulbs should be checked regularly and replaced in a group when they begin to fail
for efficiency.
 In addition, a technician should examine controls, filters, and baffles on
transformer systems as well as cables, hardware, and gaskets on exterior lights.

9. Maintenance Inspections Types
4. Electrical inspections
 Begin with simple battery replacement in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors as
well as flashlights and testing equipment.
 Timers and photocells should be inspected, and exhaust fans should be cleaned
regularly.
5. HVAC Inspection
 Air intake, filers, motors, and ductwork should be inspected and cleaned regularly.
 Safety equipment and controls should also be checked.

10. Maintenance Inspections Types
6. Building interior inspections
 Check walls, ceilings, and floors for damage, leaks, or other deterioration.
 Be sure to remove hazards and ensure proper operation of doors and locks.
Restroom areas should be inspected for problems, and alarms should be tested.
7. Building exterior inspections
 Check paint, walls, windows, and doors for damage regularly as well as any
foliage that may damage the walls or foundation.
 The overall campus should be inspected for debris as well as outdoor hazards like
fallen branches.

8. Plumbing inspection
 This system should be checked at least once a year for leaks, noises, and damage.
 Water boosters, water chillers, condenser fans, and circulation pumps must be
lubricated, and water boilers and heaters should be fire-tested.
 Sewage and sump pumps should be inspected regularly and replaced as needed.

12. Importance of Maintenance Inspection in an Organization
 Maintenance inspections can identify minor issues before they turn into costly
repairs.
 Inspections ensure machines are working correctly and helps prevent equipment
downtime.
 Every plant or facility must have to conduct a regular inspection electrical
systems, mechanical systems, and instrumentation components must be checked
and subsequently serviced.
 Identify existing and potential hazards, determine underlying causes of hazards and
Recommend corrective action
12

13. Importance of Maintenance Inspection in an Organization
 Maintenance inspections help to prevent incidents, injuries and illnesses issues
within the organizations.
 Maintenance Inspection in organization allows us to:
1. Listen to the concerns of workers and supervisors
2. Gain further understanding of jobs and tasks
3. Identify existing and potential hazards
4. Label workplace rules and regulations
5. Provide Emergency procedures - fire, first aid and rescue
