Introduction
Maintenance
All activities that maintain facilities and equipment in good working order so that a system can perform as intended Reactive approach; dealing with breakdowns or problems when they occur Proactive approach; reducing breakdowns through a program of lubrication, adjustment, cleaning, inspection, and replacement of worn parts
Breakdown maintenance
Preventive maintenance

Maintenance
Maintenance Reasons
Reasons for keeping equipment running
Avoid production disruptions Not add to production costs Maintain high quality Avoid missed delivery dates

Maintenance
Breakdown Consequences
Production capacity is reduced
Orders are delayed
No production
Overhead continues Cost per unit increases Product may be damaged
Injury to employees Injury to customers
Quality issues
Safety issues

Preventive Maintenance
Preventive maintenance: goal is to reduce the incidence of breakdowns or failures in the plant or equipment to avoid the associated costs
Preventive maintenance is periodic
Result of planned inspections According to calendar After predetermined number of hours

Maintenance
Example S-1
Frequency of breakdown
Number of breakdowns Frequency of occurrence 0 1 2 3 .20 .30 .40 .10
If the average cost of a breakdown is $1,000, and the cost of preventative maintenance is $1,250 per month, should we use preventive maintenance?

Maintenance
Example S-1 Solution
Frequency of Occurrence .20 .30 .40 .10 1.00 Expected number of Breakdowns 0 .30 .80 .30 1.40
Number of Breakdowns 0 1 2 3
Expected cost to repair = 1.4 breakdowns per month X $1000 = $1400 Preventive maintenance = $1250 PM results in savings of $150 per month

Maintenance
Predictive Maintenance
Predictive maintenance
An attempt to determine when best to perform preventive maintenance activities
Total productive maintenance
JIT approach where workers perform preventive maintenance on the machines they operate
14s-11
Maintenance
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

Maintenance
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 When is it time for replacement?
