 MAINTENANCE

• Maintenance is an excellent means of improving the performance and

condition of equipment and facilities. An effective maintenance program
identified problems long before any equipment or facility breaks down or
deteriorate. A good maintenance system presents the early discovery of
problems, thus providing plenty of lead time for effective maintenance
planning. The trainer has to value the importance of maintaining the
training facilities, equipment and tools he is using or under his care if he
values the presence and availability of these resources for effective training
and learning processes.
 THE GROWTH OF INTEREST IN
MAINTENANCE
The factors contributing to the rapidly growing interest in
maintenance are:

1. Technological development
2. Increasingly expensive raw materials
3. Greater complication
4. Increased fixed costs
5. Reduce delayed activities and eradicate uncompleted
work
6. Environmental concern
 1. TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT

• This trend leads to a more mechanized and automated

equipment, resulting in great productive potential which
must be kept working. This means that training facilities
are becoming more complicated and required more
advanced maintenance.
 2. INCREASINGLY EXPENSIVE RAW
MATERIALS

• Finite raw materials, in combination with a growing

population and increasing assumption, inevitably result in
higher raw material prices. Unavoidably, the costs of all
by-products must rise. It is therefore often more
profitable to maintain existing equipment than purchase
new ones.
 3. GREATER COMPLICATION

• A complicated facility of piece of equipment includes many

components, any or all of which can constitute possible
sources of trouble. Although
the operational reliability of each individual component
may be very high, it is necessary to multiply reliability factor
of all components that are dependent on each other in a
system in order to arrive at the total system reliability.
 4. INCREASED FIXED COSTS

• Capital costs constitute a considerable part of the

total costs of training and must be covered by the
added value created. If training stops as a result of
inadequate maintenance, capital costs (depreciation)
must still be paid, so that the standstill results in a
net loss. Still, the salaries and overhead expenses
must be paid while training is stopped.
 5. REDUCE DELAYED ACTIVITIES AND
ERADICATE UNCOMPLETED WORK

• Many work processes depend on an uninterr

upted flow of activities to produce desired
result. If an activity is delayed, the entire work
stops. If all the facilities and equipment are
reliable working well, work delay can be reduced.
 6. ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN

• The growing quantity of electronic wastes (monitors, laptops,

cellular phones, other electronic gadgets and its substances), the
increasing use of chemicals such as cleaning agents, paints, fuel and
its derivatives, the by-products created from its use, and its disposal,
pose danger to the environment and all living things. Mass awareness
on waste management brings the relevance of conserving the
natural resources and the products (machines, tools) thru proper
maintenance to lengthen its useful life.
 TRAINING EQUIPMENT AND
SUPPLIES

• Training equipment is usually placed in the practical work area or the trainee
resource area. The sizes and uses of equipment vary in the different training
qualifications and generally classified into five (5):
1. Large items of equipment – motor vehicles, industrial sewing machines
2. Small items of equipment – video/tape recorder, espresso machine
3. Simple equipment – electric fan, floor polisher
4. Complex equipment – plasma cutting machine, simulator (automotive)
5. Equipment with significant health and safety implications – duplicator machine
 WHY MAINTAIN?
• General Objective:
To keep the optimum condition
of physical facilities at acceptable
levels and minimum cost to sa
tisfy the expected of programs,
services and activities at
acceptable and minimum costs.
Specific Objectives:
To extend the useful life of physical
facilities
To assure the operational readiness of
installed equipment and maximum
possible return on investments
To properly discard hazardous wastes
To ensure the safety of personnel
using the facilities, physical properties
and the environment.
 WHAT CAN WE GAIN FROM
MAINTAINING OUR FACILITIES ?

• Ensured SAFE environment

• Improved MORALE of human resources
• Reduced operational COST
• Increased PRODUCTION
• Prolonged LIFE of facilities
• Prompt DELIVERY of services/product
• WASTE/Garbage reduction
 WHO ARE INVOLVED?

• Who will manage the activities?

• Who will monitor and evaluate the operations?
• Who will prepare the maintenance schedule?
• Who will implement the program?
• Who will keep the records?
• Who will conduct inspection?
• Who will certify and accept the work?
• Who will prepare the report?
 WHAT, WHERE, WHEN?

• What routine actions must be done to keep the

device on working order?
• Where is the maintenance activity to be carried
out?
• When do you perform the maintenance activities?
 HOW TO MAINTAIN?

• The question on how do we implement the maintenance progra

m will center on the 5Ms as follows:
• Manpower
• Money (Financial Resources)
• Methods and System
• Machines (Facilities)
• Materials and Supplies
 MAINTENANCE PROGRAM

• A maintenance program is a comprehensive list of

maintenance and its incidents. This would include all
maintenance activities to be undertaken, manpower
needed, maintenance methods to be used, all the
materials and supplies needed and cost involved in the
maintenance .
 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

• A maintenance schedule is a list allocating specific

maintenance of an area, including equipment and tools to a
specific period.
• The maintenance schedule is just a part of the maintenance
program. A maintenance checklist is a list of maintenance tasks
(preventive or predictive) typically derived through some form of
analysis, generated automatically as work orders at a
predetermined frequency.
To perform the maintenance of specific equipment, a maintenance schedule is drawn. Again, the best
source of the list of the maintenance activities of equipment is its manufacturers/user’s manual. In the absence
of it, the plan can be derived from the known maintenance methods of the equipment and in accordance with the
organization’s policy and procedures.
