Question - Write short notes on the following.

Ans - Types of Maintenance -

Preventive maintenance - Preventive maintenance is an established routine of


periodically inspecting equipment, noticing small issues and fixing them before
they turn into major problems. The main goal of preventive maintenance is zero
downtime.

Predictive maintenance - Predictive maintenance is maintenance that monitors


the performance and condition of equipment during normal operating conditions to
reduce the likelihood of failures.

Reliability-centered Maintenance (RCM) - Reliability-centered maintenance is


the process of identifying potential problems with your equipment and determining
what you should do to make sure those assets continue to produce at maximum
capacity.

Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) - Total productive maintenance is the


process of using machines, equipment, employees and supporting processes to
maintain and improve the integrity of production and system quality. The goal of a
TPM program is to improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) by forming
small, multidisciplinary teams to address core areas like preventive and
autonomous maintenance, training machinery operators, and the standardization of
work processes

Autonomous maintenance - Autonomous maintenance is a maintenance strategy


that consists of training operators to continuously monitor their equipment, make
adjustments and perform minor maintenance tasks to increase efficiency.

Run-to-failure maintenance (RTF) - Run-to-failure maintenance is an unplanned,


reactive type of maintenance that's usually a deliberate strategy designed to
minimize costs.

a) Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) -

Total productive maintenance is the process of using machines, equipment,


employees and supporting processes to maintain and improve the integrity of
production and system quality. The goal of a TPM program is to improve overall
equipment effectiveness (OEE) by forming small, multidisciplinary teams to
address core areas like preventive and autonomous maintenance, training
machinery operators, and the standardization of work processes. Total productive
maintenance focuses on all departments within an organization, ensuring efficient
and effective use of the means of production.

Total productive maintenance is considered more of a process than a program as


well as an operations improvement process rather than a full-blown maintenance
program. It's also not a quick fix, as it takes years to achieve a maximum benefit
from a high-quality TPM process; however, you can see results immediately.

b) Stakeholders -

A stakeholder is a person that has an interest/concern in an organization. In


the context of reliability stakeholder is the person who receives value from a
product being reliable.

· Executive management
· Business unit
· Sales
· R&D
· Quality
· Manufacturing

These groups of employees are directly related to the success of the product.
Their success in their respective role is dependent on the reliability and the
success of the product.

c) Maintenance Scheduling -

Maintenance scheduling involves organization and coordination. The


Scheduling role involves assembling and coordinating the information, people,
materials, equipment, along with all the other necessary resources to get the job
done.

The resources for a job include needed information, people, parts, materials and
equipment. You would even go as far as getting fire extinguishers, safety signage,
safety showers, danger tape, etc. to the job site.

The coordination required to do and complete a maintenance job also requires the
Scheduler to get the asset owner to make the asset available at an agreed time and
in an agreed condition.
