Principles of Maintenance Questions (18, 19)

Draw the flow chart for maintenance operating procedures, and explain all parts of maintenance.

1. Corrective maintenance: Which includes such improvements as minor changes in design and substitution of more suitable components or improved materials of construction to eliminate a problem? If the problem cannot be eliminated economically, it may be possible to reduce the frequency of its occurrence. 2. Predictive maintenance: Is a relatively new term now coming into general use. Recognizing that a change in physical condition is the principal reason for maintenance, it is logical to consider the use of sensing, measuring, or monitoring devices to determine significant changes. Predictive maintenance takes advantage of the fact that commercial equipment is available that can be usedsuch as portable vibration analyzers and amplitude meters, vibration amplitude and axial-displacement monitors, ultrasonic equipment for wallthickness measurement , optical tooling and no contracting displacement sensors for a monitoring alignment, and conventional pressure, vacuum, flow, temperature, and load measuring devices. 3. Repairs maintenance :( as required) is simply doing maintenance work as the need develops. This elementary approach has sometimes been replaced by periodic overhauls and other preventive maintenance practices. As required maintenance might be a better choice than preventive maintenance for equipment that is classified noncritical rather than critical. 4. Preventive maintenance: is undertaken before the need develops to minimize the possibility or unanticipated production interruptions or major breakdowns. While this seems

a sound idea, it may be found that when such planned preventive-maintenance programs are developed and followed religiously. Rather, it is better to consider preventive maintenance only when: 1. Corrective maintenance cannot be justified. 2. Predictive maintenance cannot be applied. 3. As required maintenance effects cannot be tolerated. Write about the role of components in production system and the effect of downtime on it.

The total time that an equipment system is available for production is directly influenced by the amount of downtime for planned maintenance overhauls or other preventive-maintenance actions, downtime caused by failure of components in the system, or downtime for production reasons cleaning, change-overs. The downtime to repair or replace components in a system is especially important in a highly integrated system involving a large number of components. To establish system reliability and high probable availability of a system, it is necessary to have data on the service life of components. The information about the properties and potential service life of components in the system enable to calculate their service life.
