McGraw-Hill/Irwin
Learning Objectives
Explain the importance of maintenance in
production systems
Describe the range of maintenance activities
Discuss preventative maintenance and the
key issues associated with it

key issues associated with it
State how the Pareto phenomenon pertains
to maintenance decisions
15S-2
Introduction
Maintenance
All activities that maintain facilities and
equipment in good working order so
that a system can perform as intended
15S-3
Goal of Maintenance
To keep production systems in good working
order at minimal cost
Reasons for maintenance
15S-4
Reactive vs Proactive
Reactive Maintenance:
Breakdown maintenance
Reactive approach; dealing with breakdowns or
problems when they occur
Proactive Maintenance:
Preventive maintenance
Proactive approach; reducing breakdowns
through a program of lubrication, adjustment,
cleaning, inspection, and replacement of worn
parts
15S-5
Maintenance Reasons
Reasons for keeping equipment running
15S-6
Breakdown Consequences
Production capacity is reduced
Orders are delayed
No production
Overhead continues
Cost per unit increases
Quality issues
Product may be damaged
Safety issues
Injury to employees
Injury to customers
15S-7

maintenance cost
Breakdown and
repair cost

preventive maintenance
15S-8
Preventive Maintenance
Preventive maintenance: goal is to
reduce the incidence of breakdowns or
failures in the plant or equipment to
avoid the associated costs

Predictive Maintenance
Predictive maintenance
An attempt to determine when best to
perform preventive maintenance activities
15S-12
Breakdown Programs
Standby or backup equipment that can
be quickly pressed into service
Inventories of spare parts that can be
installed as needed
Operators who are able to perform minor
repairs
Repair people who are well trained and
readily available to diagnose and correct
problems with equipment
15S-13
Replacement
Trade-off decisions
Cost of replacement vs cost of continued
maintenance
New equipment with new features vs
maintenance
Installation of new equipment may cause
disruptions
Training costs of employees on new equipment
Forecasts for demand on equipment may
require new equipment capacity
