3. Maintenance
Maintenance:-
The process of preserving a condition or situation or the state of being
preserved is termed as maintenance. Maintenance is carried out
following detection of an anomaly and aimed at restoring normal
operating conditions.
This approach is based on the firm belief that the costs sustained for
downtime and repair in case of fault are lower than the investment
required for a maintenance program. This strategy may be cost-effective
until catastrophic faults occur.

4. Different types of
maintenance:-
There are two major types of maintenance they are:
• Preventive maintenance
• Corrective maintenance
Preventive maintenance:-
• Preventive maintenance is maintenance that is regularly
performed on a piece of equipment to lessen the likelihood of it
failing. Preventative maintenances performed while the
equipment is still working, so that it does not break down
unexpectedly.
Preventive maintenance (PM) has the
following meanings:
4

5. • The care and servicing by personnel for the purpose of maintaining
equipment and facilities in satisfactory operating condition by
providing for systematic inspection ,detection and correction of
incipient failures either before they occur or before they develop
into major defects.
• Maintenance, including tests, measurements, adjustments, and
parts replacement, performed specifically to prevent faults from
occurring.
The primary goal of maintenance is to avoid or mitigate the
consequences of failure of equipment.
• This may be by preventing the failure before it actually occurs
which Planned Maintenance and Condition Based Maintenance
help to achieve.
• It is designed to preserve and restore equipment reliability by
replacing worn components before they actually fail.
• Preventive maintenance activities include partial or complete
overhauls at specified periods, oil changes, lubrication, minor
adjustments, and so on.

6. CORRECTIVE MAINTAINENCE:-
Corrective maintenance is a maintenance task performed to identify,
isolate, and rectify a fault so that the failed equipment, machine, or
system can be restored to an operational condition within the tolerances
or limits established for in-service operations
French official norm defines "corrective maintenance" as maintenance
which is carried out after failure detection and is aimed at restoring an
asset to a condition in which it can perform its intended function
Corrective maintenance can be subdivided into
6

7. • “immediate corrective maintenance" (in which work starts
immediately after a failure)
• "Deferred corrective maintenance" (in which work is delayed in
conformance to a given set of maintenance rules).
• Break down maintenance
• Shut down maintenance
Difference between corrective
and preventive maintenances:-
The set of tasks is destined to correct the defects to be found in the
different equipment and that are communicated to the maintenance
department by users of the same equipment.
While preventive maintenance is generally considered to be
worthwhile, there are risks such as equipment failure or human
error involved when performing preventive maintenance, just as in
any maintenance operation.

8. • Preventive maintenance as scheduled overhaul or scheduled
replacement provides two of the three proactive failure
management policies available to the maintenance engineer
Simply
• Corrective maintenance is done after problem while preventive is
before problem.
• Corrective maintenance is done randomly while preventive is done
frequently.

9. • Preventive maintenance will minimize the need of corrective,
while corrective will maximize the preventive actions.

13. Attributes
Listed below are some of the key attributes of a corrective
maintenance program
• To restore an asset after failure has occurred
• In some cases, a conscious decision is made to neglect an
asset until it fails or until some type of problem emerges.
Where this occurs, this maintenance strategy is therefore also
referred to as “Run to Failure” (RTF) or “Fit and Forget”
(F&F).
• Many owners do not intentionally allow their assets to run
to failure. While they may find that they are neglecting some
13

14. of their assets, this is not a conscious decision but rather an
unfortunate consequence of other factors such as inadequate
maintenance budgets, poor planning or ignorance.
• There is a subtle, but very important, distinction that must
be made between Corrective Maintenance (CM) and Reactive
Maintenance (RM).
Candidates Assets:-
Included below is a list of the criteria to be used in determining
which assets may be acceptable candidates for a corrective
maintenance program
• Assets that is not maintainable.
• Assets that is disposable and cheaper to
replace than to fix.
14

15. • Small assets without significant financial
value.
• Assets whose downtime is non-critical - that
is, the consequence of failure (Cove) are not
significant.
• Assets that are not subject to wear and tear.
• Assets that is unlikely to fail during the life of
the building.
De merits of corrective
maintenance:-
15

16. Listed below are some of the disadvantages of the
corrective maintenance approach.
• Costs - Increased long-term costs due
to unplanned equipment downtime
• Collateral Damage - Possible
secondary equipment or process
damage.
• Decreased Reliability - Neglect of
assets may lead to
decreased reliability reflected in
downtime.
• Risk - greater risk
16

17. Merits of corrective
maintenance:-
The advantages of corrective maintenance can be viewed as a
double-edged sword and therefore skill and care is required
when determining which assets should be allowed to run to
failure.
Listed below are some of the merits and advantages of the
corrective maintenance approach.
• Costs - Lower short-term costs.
• Staffing - Requires less staff since less work is being done.
