Plant & maintenance engineering is most important part of successful operation of a factory. But many companies ignore this function. Here is a brief presentation about aspects of plant & maintenance engineering, which is important part of operation and maintenance management.
The objective of the Parts Checkout process to ensure the right part is in stock when required by Maintenance / Operations to provide Production with Reliable Assets.
> Parts / Material Checkout Guiding Principles:
•All parts/material used for an asset will be charge to the asset via a Work Order
•No blanket work orders – blanket work orders lead to lack of failure information due to failure threads of like parts/material
•Overnight ordering of parts is an exception and not the general rule
•The Materials Management Process will be managed with Leading and Lagging KPIs
... and so much more

This session provides a basic overview of preventive maintenance by exploring the effects different tabs have on records and looking at general PM preferences.
Every wondered what the life of a Proactive Maintenance Technician looks like. This article was written based on my experience as a Proactive Maintenance Technician.
Implementing a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) is an ongoing journey. Implementing the software is just one component. Workflow process development, standard operating procedure generation, establishing a team, training and process auditing are equally important aspects of the implementation process. These slides introduce the Top 10 Keys to Success in CMMS Implementation.
Across industry many definitions are used when it comes to the different types of maintenance. It can quickly get confusing when people talk about preventive maintenance, condition based maintenance, predictive maintenance but actually, have something else in mind than you do. Some people get very excited about these definitions and can spend a lot of time on for example disagreeing with what is and what isn’t preventive maintenance. Let’s not do that, instead I’ll offer you my view on the different types of maintenance.

Maintenance Planning and Scheduling is critical to success of any Maintenance Organization resulting in a significant increase in Wrench-time (Hands on Tool Time). Planning and Scheduling are two distinct functions which are dependent on each other.

2. INTRODUCTION TO MAINTENANCE
What is Maintenance?
Its an activity carried
out for any equipment
to ensure its reliability
to perform its
functions.
How people think about it?
• Any activity carried out on
an asset in order to ensure
that the asset continues to
perform its intended
functions.
• To repair any equipment
that has failed
• To keep the equipment
running and restore to its
favorable operating
condition
3. PURPOSE OF MAINTENANCE
• Enable the maintenance function to provide
better service to production promotes better
equipment performance.
• Prevent breakdown or failures
• Minimize production loss from failures
• Increase reliability of the operating systems
4. CHALLENGES
• Need to model the different elements
(technical, commercial, operational)
• Need to understand the underlying
degradation processes.
• Adequate data to build and validate models
6. PROBLEMS IN MAINTENANCE
• Lack of management attention to
maintenance.
• Little participation by accounting in analyzing
and reporting costs.
• Difficulties in applying quantitative analysis.
• Difficulties in obtaining time and cost
estimates for maintenance works.
• Difficulties in measuring performance.
7. PROBLEMS EXIST DUE TO:
• Failure to develop written objectives and
policy
• Inadequate budgetary control
• Inadequate control procedures for work
order, service requests etc.
• Don’t follow standards
• Absence of cost reports to aid maintenance
planning and control system
8.
9. STRATEGIC MAINTENANCE
• Differentiating among types of equipment
with respect to the planned maintenance and
capacity requirement.
• It will help to understand of which equipment
is most critical to plant operations.
10. STRATEGIC MAINTENANCE
• The failure to set maintenance will lead to
equipment disruptive breakdowns.
• To avoid conflicts, operators will need training
in order to take on routine maintenance tasks.
13. CORRECTIVE/ BREAKDOWN
MAINTENANCE
ADVANTAGES:
Down times are non-critical
Repair costs are less than other type of maintenance
Financial justification for scheduling are not felt
DIS - ADVANTAGES:
Excessive delay in production & reduces output
Faster plant deterioration
Increases chances of accidents and less safety for both workers
and machines
More spoilt materials
Direct loss of profit
Can not be employed for equipments regulated by statutory
provisions e.g. cranes, lift and hoists etc
14. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
ADVANTAGES:
locates weak spots of machinery and equipments
provides them periodic/scheduled inspections and minor
repairs to reduce the danger of unanticipated breakdowns.
Lower maintenance and repair costs
Less stand-by equipments and spare parts
Better product quality and fewer reworks and scraps
Increases plant life
DIS - ADVANTAGES:
Intensive, performance of unneeded maintenance etc.
15. PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE
ADVANTAGES:
increased component life.
Preemptive corrective action
Reduced downtime
Reduced spares and
labor cost
improved worker moral etc
DIS - ADVANTAGES:
Increased investment in diagnostic equipments, staff training etc
16. RELIABILITY CENTERED
MAINTENANCE
ADVANTAGES:
most efficient maintenance program.
lower costs by eliminating unnecessary maintenance or overhauls
minimize frequency of overhauls
focused maintenance activities on critical equipments
reduced probability of sudden equipment failure
DIS - ADVANTAGES:
It can have significant startup cost, training, equipment etc.
17. WHY IS IMPROVING MAINTENANCE
PRODUCTIVITY SO CHALLENGING?
• Once an implementation plan is developed,
manufacturers must execute it in a way that
minimizes disruption to equipment operations
and maintenance staff.
• The nature of maintenance work makes it more
challenging to measure productivity and
effectiveness, to identify the root causes of
problems, and to make improvements.
• These overall challenges translate into specific
challenges in Strategy, Execution, and
Governance.
