 PLANT MAINTENANCE

 MAINTENANCE is defined as that function of production

management concerned with the day to day problem of
keeping the physical plant in good operating condition.
 Maintenance management is concerned with the direction
and organisation of resources in order to improve the
availability and performance of the industrial plants to some
specified level.
 Maintainability

 Is concerned with those actions taken by a system and facilities during

development so that the system or facilities when installed and operated can
be maintained with ease.
 Maintainability means design for ease of maintenance. It is the characterstics
of system design which determines the ability of a system to be retained in or
restored to an effective operational condition. It is concerned with the
operational condition. It is concerned with the system down time. It include
aspects such as:
I. Incorporation of fail safe features.
II. Tolerance which allows for wear through machine life
III. Selection of materials that ensures minimum failure due to fatigue and
friction.
 Reliability is defined as the probability of a plant to give
satisfactory performance in a particular period of time under
specified conditions. The time between failures is called
MTBF.

 Availability is the percentage of time the machine will be

available for operation.
 Availability = Mean time between failures(MTBF)
MTBF + Mean time for Repairs
 SCOPE

 Primary Functions
 Secondary Functions
• Plant protection (including the figures)
• Waste disposal
• Pollution and noise reduction
• Sanitorial services
• Storekeeping, accounting etc.
 Categories
 Breakdown Maintenance(corrective maintenance)
 Preventive Maintenance(PM)
• Lubrication and Inspection
 Predictive maintenance(Condition monitoring)
• Is a form of PM
• By tracing the performance of the machine over its operating
life, deterioration that can occur at various intervals of time is
predicted. Early symptoms of failure are identified and proper
maintenance measures developed.
 PM

 Is repairing of the machine at planned intervals so that

sudden breakdowns could be prevented and costly
downtime avoided. This work is generally done when the
shop can spare the machines for repairs, generally during
off shift hours, Sundays and holidays.
• Lubrication and Inspection are two constituents of PM
 Advantages of PM

o Greater safety to workers

o Reduction in production down time
o Lesser expenditure on repairs due to fewer repetitive and
large scale repairs
o Less spare parts
o Prolongs the life of the machine
o Maintains quality and continuity of production
 Disadvantages of PM

o High control on records and analysis, planning and

scheduling
o Monitoring of parameters like temperature, lubrication,
noise, corrosion, leaks etc are high. The equipments to do
that also so costly.
o Optimum PM is required, hence correct judgement is
needed. Too much or too little is not good.
