Importance of Maintenance
In any engineering project, the errors and problems are
accumulated unless regular and timely maintenance is
carried out. The maintenance prevents the following
consequences
• System deterioration
• Reduces services and problems in management
• Poor project operation
• Frequent and costly rehabilitation
• Long production time
Objectives of Maintenance
• To increase the economic life of the infrastructure/system and to provide easy
operation with optimum service/ production /supply. Also to reduce risk and
mitigates the disaster.
• To maximize the availability and reliability of all assets, especially a system
plant, equipment and machinery and to obtain a maximum possible return on
investment
• To extend the life of assets by minimizing wear and tear and deterioration
• To ensure operational readiness of all equipment required for emergency use
at all time such as standby units, firefighting units, and rescue units.
• To ensure the safety of personnel using equipment/facilities
• To minimize the frequency and severity of interruptions to the operating
process.
• To plan and schedule maintenance work
• To increase the reliability of the system

WHY WE DO FAIL
Reasons Why Maintenance Planning is Not Effective
• We don’t know what good planning looks like (We don’t practice this in a
regular basis
• We don’t separate the maintenance planning and maintenance scheduling
• We think it is all about the planner/scheduler, and rest of us can still be
reactive
• Preventive maintenance is conducted and yet failures continue !
• No focus, or little focus on prevention or identification of failure modes !
• Responsibility assignment (focal point)
• Inventory/Store Management
• Procurement Management
Lack of proper Records !!
Specially for the medical and other equipment !!!
Factor involved in Maintenance
Planning
• Administrative
Priority accorded to maintenance in the overall management
Processes and procedures used to carry out maintenance activities
Management and technical ability of those responsible
• Financial
Budget allocation from the Financial Year Budget Appropriation
Assistance from non-government sources
Cost of labor and materials
• Technical
Design, age and condition of facilities
Nature and standard of past maintenance work done
• Resources
Availability of competent workmen and appropriate materials
Planning and Scheduling Objectives

OPTIMAL MAINTENANCE
COMMITMENT
Direct cost / Preventive Maintenance cost
These are the actual cost involved in the maintenance of the plant. It is
quantifiable and measurable. This includes:
a. Regular maintenance cost
b. Labor cost
c. Equipment, parts and components costs
d. Stock management cost
e. Training and technological updating costs
Indirect cost/ Cost of Failure
These are failure cost. They are not directly measurable in terms of money, but they
cause heavy financial loss to the organization. Some of them are summarized as
follows:
a. Loss of production and service
b. Alternation in the quality of products and services
c. Delivery delays
d. Deterioration in workplace and environment
e. Loss of goodwill and image
f. Depression in employees etc.
