IV. ALTERNATIVE COURSES OF ACTION

Types of Maintenance Method and its advantage and disadvantage
1. Preventive maintenance (PM)
is the regular and routine maintenance of equipment and assets in order to keep them
running and prevent any costly unplanned downtime from unexpected equipment failure.
Advantage/s:
• Anticipate and prevent the breakdown of equipment and should ideally be performed on
all items of equipment to prevent age-related failure.
 • Improved efficiency. (assets in good condition perform better)
Disadvantage/s:
• More labor-intensive, so you'll need more staff on hand
• Upfront costs - keeping equipment well-maintained requires investment.

2. Condition-based maintenance (CBM)

is a maintenance strategy that monitors the actual condition of an asset to decide what maintenance
needs to be done. CBM dictates that maintenance should only be performed when certain indicators
show signs of decreasing performance or upcoming failure.
Advantage/s:
• CBM is performed while the asset is working, which lessens the chances of disruption to
normal operations.
• Monitoring pressure readings on equipment with water systems. Monitoring pressure
levels allows maintenance staff to identify when and where a leak is likely to occur before it
happens, instead of at the point of failure.
Disadvantage/s:
• Condition monitoring test equipment is expensive to install, and databases cost money to
analyze.
• Cost to train staff–you need a knowledgeable professional to analyze the data and perform the
work.
V. RECOMMENDATION

Region Recommendations for regulatory improvements Recommendations for spatial planning
of aquaculture
