PREVENTIVE

MAITENANCE PROGRAM
 A successful preventive maintenance program (PMP)
utilizes regularly scheduled evaluation of critical
equipment, machinery, and systems. PMP help detect
potential problems, and maintenance tasks can be
immediately scheduled to prevent deterioration in
system operating condition.
 A successful maintenance program includes time-based
maintenance tasks and corrective maintenance to provide
support for all plant production or manufacturing system.

PMP can be either manual or computer-based system.

 Maintenance is the planning and action to
minimize and prevent equipment breakdowns
and lost production time.
Maintenance is categorized as routine,
emergency, and preventive.
 Routine Maintenance consist of maintenance
procedures that involve servicing operating equipment
on a scheduled basis.

This maintenance consist of activities such as checking

and adjusting oil levels, lubricating moving parts,
replacing filters, inspecting V belt, and replacing or
sharpening cutting devices.
 Emergency maintenance consist of maintenance
procedures that involve reacting to operating equipment
breakdowns.

These breakdowns must be corrected immediately and

for certain facilities may require the assistance of outside
contractors.
 Preventive maintenance (PM) consist of maintenance
procedures that involve scheduled inspections of, adjustment
to, and repairs to equipment to verify that equipment is in
proper working order.

Repairs include the replacement of worn parts prior to failure

based on known useful life spans or observed conditions.

PM is the combination of technical and administrative measures

taken to maintain production operating equipment and ensure
that it is capable of performing at its peak operating condition.
 Predictive maintenance (PDM) is the monitoring of wear
conditions and equipment operating characteristics for
comparison against a predetermined tolerance to predict
potential malfunctions or failures.
 OPERATOR’S MANUAL
Original equipment manufacturers supply operator’s manuals
for each specific piece of equipment that offer safety functions
as well as maintenance specifications.
 Equipment Maintenance Requirements
OEMs may provide recommended maintenance procedures and
schedules for the equipment they manufacture.

This information may also found in operating manuals, through

direct contact with the supplier, on manufacturer websites, or
in manufacturer catalogs.
 For example; Equipment or product suppliers can suggest the
type of lubricant, lubrication intervals, and amount of lubricant
to use.
 Maintenance Records
As maintenance work is performed, record of specific task
performed, parts required, suppliers used, and costs
incurred must be kept. This information can be used to
determine the frequency of PM. When emergency
maintenance situations arise, this information can be used
to make decisions about repairing or replacing equipment
or changing work schedules.
 MANUAL PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
PROGRAMS

Developing a manual PM program requires establishing goals,

creating organized maintenance plans, prioritizing production
areas, cataloging operating equipment, prioritizing equipment,
planning PM schedules, and employee training
 COMPUTERIZED MAINTENANCE MANAGMENT
PROGRAMS
Moderns maintenance operations require more then just basic
PM activities designed to prevent major problems.

A preventive maintenance (PM) system is used to record and

organize maintenance cost, consumables, time on task, and
breakdown resolution.
