economic and social status, technology availability.

 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) – It reflects the annual gross domestic

income derived from the salaries and wages, profits from businesses

20 | P a g e
 and taxes collected by the government. The higher the GDP, the more
spending power a consumer has.

 Unemployment Rate – the percentage of people who are actively

seeking a job but could not find one. The higher the unemployment rate
the lesser income for consumers to spend. Less spending ability of
people means less business.

Maintain Hand Tools, Equipment and Paraphernalia

Maintenance is a means of improving the performance and condition

of equipment and facilities. An effective maintenance program identifies
problems long before any equipment or facilities breaks down. Early discovery
of problems, provide enough time for effective maintenance planning. The
trainer has to value the importance of maintaining the training facility,
equipment and tools under his or her care for effective training and learning
process.

Training Equipment and Supplies

Training equipment is usually placed in the Practical Work Area or

the Trainee Resource Area. The sizes and uses of equipment vary in
different training qualifications and generally classified into five (5):

1. Large items of equipment - motor vehicles, animation table,

industrial sewing machine, computer unit.
2. Small items of equipment – video camera, tape recorder,
espresso machine, scanner, portable light box, tester, printer.
3. Simple equipment – electric fan, floor polisher
4. Complex equipment – plasma cutting machine, simulator
(automotive)
5. Equipment with significant health and safety implications –
duplicator Machine

Why Maintain?
Benefits of Effective Maintenance Program
Generally, it keeps the optimum condition of physical facilities at acceptable
levels and minimum cost to satisfy the expected of programs, services and
activities at acceptable and minimum costs.

The following are the benefits of effective maintenance program:

1. Extend the useful life of physical facilities.
2. Assure the operational readiness of equipment and maximum
possible return of investments.
3. Properly discard hazardous waste.
4. Ensure the safety of personnel using the facilities

39 | P a g e
What we can gain form maintaining our facilities?

a. Ensured SAFE environment

b. Improved MORALE of human resources
c. Reduced operational COST
d. Increased PRODUCTION
e. Prolonged LIFE of facilities
f. Prompt DELIVERY of services/ product
g. WASTE/ GARBAGE reduction

The implementation of maintenance program will center on the 5 M’s as

follows:

1. Manpower
2. Money
3. Methods and System
4. Machines
5. Materials and Supplies

Maintenance Program is a comprehensive list of maintenance and its

incidents. This include all maintenance activities to be undertaken, manpower
needed, maintenance method, materials and supplies needed and cost
involved in the maintenance.

Maintenance Schedule is a list allocating specific maintenance of an area,

including equipment and tools to a specified period.

Maintenance Checklist is a list of maintenance tasks typically derived

through some form of analysis, generated automatically as work orders at a
predetermined frequency.

Safety Procedures in Using Hand Tools and Equipment

We already familiar with the different hand tools and their proper use.
We need to know how to be safe in using these. What are the safety
precautions in using hand tools and equipment? What are its Do’s and
Don’ts?

41 | P a g e
Safety Precautions in using Hand Tools and Equipment

1. All tools must be kept in good condition with regular maintenance.

2. Right tool must be used for job.
3. Each tool must be examined before use and damaged or defective
tools should not be used.
4. Tools must be operated according to manufacturer’s instruction.
5. The right protective equipment for the tool and activity must be used.

Procedures in Cleaning, Tightening and Simple Repair for Hand Tools,

Equipment and Paraphernalia

1. Cleaning the tools after use is highly recommended.

2. All tools and equipment must be placed in a clean and dry place.
3. The work area must always be kept neat and tidy.
4. Lubricants must also be applied after tightening to reduce the friction.
5. Before cleaning any tool, be sure to wear the proper personal
protective equipment (PPE).
6. Only use cleaning agents as prescribed by the tool or equipment’s
manufacturer. Follow the cleaning procedures as well to make sure that
no damage will be inflicted on the tools.

Common Malfunctions in Hand Tools, Equipment and Paraphernalia

1. Small objects tend to fall down when being held by a gripping tool like
pliers.
2. The use of striking tools also imposes a great threat if there will be a
malfunction. Common hazards are heads separating away from the
handle.
3. Power tools also impose danger during mishaps. Common problems
are electrical short circuiting or mechanical problems.
4. When using a driving tool, screw may slip the tip of the screw driver.

Procedures in Preparing Report to Property Custodian

The Property Custodian is the one who oversee the storage of

supplies, materials and equipment, In-charge of warehouses, Storage yards,
tools rooms, and stock rooms. Prepare and submit required reports to the
management.

There are basic procedures to follow in reporting any damages and

non-functional equipment, missing items, needed items, condemnable tools
and equipment to Property Custodian. Accurate entry in different forms used
in Animation works is essentially important in order to facilitate well the
purchases, issuances, and condemnation of properties and to free the person
in charge from any liabilities. Here are some various forms used in animation
works.
