MAINTENANCE
DEFINITION
TRADITIONAL DEFINITION :
The combination of all technical and associated actions intended to retain an item in, or, restore it to a state in which it can perform its required function.
CURRENT DEFINITION :
All actions that are carried out to safeguard the technical integrity of an asset and to ensure its availability such that maximum cash returns can be realized from the asset thereby enhancing the value of the asset.
ROLE OF MAINTENANCE
Preserve and prolong the working life of plant and equipment. Upkeep and protection of plant, buildings, machinery and other fixed assets. Safeguard investment by minimising deterioration. Keep the assets in efficient working condition. Ensure reliability of plant and equipment. Minimise idle time and loss of production. Maximise efficiency through optimum use of facilities. Generate a safe and healthy, working environment and maintain safety consciousness. Minimise maintenance cost. Improve performance of plant and machinery. Keep abreast of latest maintenance techniques and achieve excellence to meet the new challenges.
MAINTENANCE
BUSINESS OBJECTIVES INCREASES CASH MARGIN
INCREASES SALES AND REVENUE
INCREASE RESERVES
INCREASES PRODUCTION
TYPES OF MAINTENANCE
BREAKDOWN MAINTENANCE
This is a PANIC or CRISIS maintenance It is not desired at all in today's environment
TYPES OF MAINTENANCE
BREAKDOWN MAINTENANCE
BATH TUB CURVE
Infantile Deaths Wear-out Stage Abnormal Operations
DISADVANTAGES
Uncertain - Occurrence & Repairs Uncertain Production Costly Repairs Unsafe Situation
TYPES OF MAINTENANCE
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
This is a systematic and planned attention, monitoring and analysis. It is most effective if there is strong age related failure mode. The guiding principle is Prevention is better than cure
TYPES OF MAINTENANCE
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE EXAMPLES
Visual External Inspection
Lubrication Replenishments Strainer Cleaning Painting
TYPES OF MAINTENANCE
ADVANTAGE OF PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE Less down time
Fewer repetitive repairs Lower repair cost than breakdown repair cost Superior quality control Increased life of plant and equipment Need of standby equipment reduced Reduction in maintenance cost Leveled workload and workforce Better spares control Enhanced safe working conditions Increase in production
TYPES OF MAINTENANCE
PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE
By predictive maintenance equipment condition can be known during normal operation through : Online monitoring, measurements, ND testing, etc. Health of equipment can be predicted with certainty and necessary corrective actions generated The result of predictive maintenance can be extrapolated to determine useful residual life Leading to prediction of approximate date of failure
TYPES OF MAINTENANCE
PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE EXAMPLES
Ultrasonic thickness measurements
On-line vibration measurements Measurement program Testing lubricating oil / hydraulic oil
TYPES OF MAINTENANCE
POPULAR PREDICTIVE MAINTEANCE TECHNOLOGY
TECHNOLOGY Iodic vibration analysis Vibration analysis On-line vibration analysis Oil sample analysis Thermography Motor stator analysis & elect. Surge testing Motor current signature analysis Air borne ultrasonics Pulse-echo ultrasonics Process parameters APPLICATIONS All rotary equipment All rotary equipment Critical rotary equipment Critical & low speed equipment Electrical components, Motor stator and insulation Break down Motor rotor bars, eccentricity Steam traps, vacuum leaks Pipe and vessel thickness Process or mechanical Degradation
TYPES OF MAINTENANCE
PROACTIVE MAINTENANCE
Proactive Maintenance emphasizes on
Root Cause Failure Analysis Precision repairs and installation Training of maintenance and operational personnel Review and correct purchase specification
Proactive maintenance is easily integrated with predictive maintenance and completes the platform needed for Reliability Centered Maintenance program
TYPES OF MAINTENANCE
ADVANTAGES OF PROACTIVE MAINTENANCE
Repetitive problems that shorten component life are identified and designed out This can include standards placed on suppliers for performance acceptability of their products/services, and verification that these are met Assuring that equipment installation is done to precision standards (Balancing, Aligning) leading to extended life Factors limiting component life are identified and eliminated Reliability centered maintenance program
