MAINTENANCE

ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT

PURPOSE OF MAINTENANCE
The main purpose of Maintenance in an Industrial

Perspective is to reduce the Business Risks. In

general operation and maintenance is synonymous with high level of availability, reliability and assets

operability linking directly with production capacity

productivity and Business profits. The purpose of maintenance is to support and during life cycle for specifications, selection, commissioning Parameterisation, diagnosis, repairs.

MAINTENANCE FUNCTIONS
To get a smooth, was reliable and to cost effective plant maintenance Earlier the objective of maintenance function considered optimize availability at minimum cost to day it is being considered as maintenance affects all aspects of business effectiveness and risk, safety environmental integrity, energy efficiency, product

quality

and

customer

service,

not

just

plant

availability and cost.

BASIC FUNCTION

COMPOSITE FUNCTION
Protect Building, Structure Reduce downtime, increase equipment utilization Control and direct labour force Economy in maintenance department Maximise utilisation of available resources Ensure safety, reduce environmental pollution Cost reduction and cost Control Preparing maintenance budget Waste reduction and west recovery Training of maintenance personnel on related job Statutory Requirement Lifting Tackel, Pressure Vessel, Weight & Weighing m/c.

MAINTENANCE OBJECTIVE
To maintain plant and equipment at its maximum operating efficiency, reducing downtime, ensuring operational safety. To safeguard investment by minimising rate of delerioration. To help management on replacement and new investment by participating in specification preparation equipment selection, its erection and commissioning.

Implement suitable procedure for procurement. Storage and consumption of spares, tools , consumables.
Standardisation of spares and consumables. Running centrallised services like steam generation and distribution, water, compressed air, fuel Running a captive work shop for making spares Running a fabrication shop, welding, gas cutting

UNPLANNED MAINTENANCE
Breakdown Maintenance or Emergency maintenance Here repairs are done after failure. This is done when there are limited recourses like machine, manpower, spare part, fund, many times it is very costly as we caught at critical time resulting in high losses.

Corrective Maintenance
Opportunistic Maintenance Routine Maintenance.

PLANNED MAINTENANCE

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE
PROACTIVE MAINTENANCE

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
In PM overhauling of equipments are generally done at fixed time interval basis. The basis of jobs and frequency are planners judgment, past experience and equipment, manufacturers recommendation. PM programmes are more suitable for industries having large number of similar equipments.

PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE
In PdM overhauling of equipments are taken on the basis of Condition monitoring, only before the equipment is going to fail or deteriorate. In PdM good amount of simple and high-tech monitoring tools are used at shorter intervals or continuous. Suitable for heavy, costly and more critical equipments where overhauling / repairs requires more down time such as turbines, heavy get-sets, big mill stand and furnace.

PROACTIVE MAINTENANCE
Proactive maint. Concentrate on monitoring correction of root causes to equipment failure. The PrM strategy is also designed too extend the useful life of the equipment. PrM relies on the use of electronic instrumentation and computerized programs of effectively pinpoint defects in rotating and sliding equipment. Vibration Analysis diagnostic tool. has evolved as the leading
