The terms overhaul and repair are often reserved for maintenance ac-
tions that improve the conditions of an item, but may or may not establish
“good as new” condition. In fact, overhaul is often interpreted as a pre-
ventive maintenance action while repair is strictly reserved for mainte-
nance of an item that has reached a defined failed state or defect limit?.
Replucemenr should be understood in our context as a broad term that
includes the replacement of components, operating fluids and charges, as
well as of complex machinery and systems. Finally, we understand or-
ganizational srrucrure problems in machinery maintenance as those con-
cerns that deal with maintainability parameters such as facilities, man-
power, training, and tools. Figure 1 4 illustrates this point.
Most petrochemical process plants have a preventive maintenance
(PM) system. The authors know of a plant where 95 96 of the maintenance
work orders are turned in by the PM crews and not the operators. While
this is an extreme-and probably not a very cost effective-way of fail-
ure fighting, we can support a moderate approach to machinery PM.
This moderate approach begins with an attempt to plan all PM actions by
following this pattern:
