3. Plant maintenance is defined as a set of
activities that are necessary to keep machinery,
parts & types of equipment in good operating
conditions to avoid production stoppage and
loss with minimum cost acquired.
It helps in maintaining and increasing the
operational efficiency of plant facilities.
The general aim of plant maintenance is to
create a productive working environment that is
also safe for workers.
4. To achieve minimum breakdown and to keep the plant in good
working condition at the lowest possible cost.
Machines and other facilities should be kept in such a condition
which permits them to be used at their optimum (Profit Making)
capacity without any interruption.
Minimizing the loss of production time due to equipment
failure
Improving equipment efficiency & reducing scrap rate.
Improve the quality of the product and to improve productivity
Helps to reduce the total maintenance cost of repair, preventive
maintenance & inventory carrying a cost due to a spare part
inventory.
6. Corrective Maintenance is a maintenance task
performed to identify, isolate and rectify a fault
so that the failed equipment, machine or
system can be restored to an operational
condition within the tolerance or limits.
Corrective maintenance is maintenance which is
carried out after failure detection and is aimed
at restoring an asset to a condition in which it
can perform its intended function.
Corrective Maintenance = After a failure has
occurred.
7. i. Scheduled Corrective Maintenance
ii. Unscheduled Corrective Maintenance
i. Scheduled Corrective Maintenance:
Maintenance that is needed, but not required
to be performed immediately.
e.g. A spray nozzle becomes clogged causing
lubricant to stop flowing through the nozzle.
A work order is created to clear the blockage
or replace the nozzle head at the time of next
inspection.
8. ii. Unscheduled Corrective Maintenance:
Maintenance that is required due to a critical
failure that must be corrected without delay.
e.g. Mineral build-up from hard water
collects in a pipe, increasing the pressure and
causing it to burst. The pipe must be
replaced as soon as possible.
9. Breakdown maintenance implies that repairs are
made after the equipment is out of order and it
cannot perform its normal function any longer,
e.g., an electric motor will not start, a belt is
broken, if a critical piece of machinery breaks etc
It occurs when work gets stopped because of a
machine breakdown. The maintenance activity
conducted to bring back the machine / equipment
in working order which has worn out or failed.
Breakdown maintenance, sometimes called run-to-
failure maintenance.
10. This may also called corrective maintenance,
but basic difference is, CM can planned & but
breakdown must be rectify on emergency basis.
Breakdown maintenance is costly and affects
productivity as it can put a halt to your entire
production if any critical equipment
breakdown.
11.
12. It is based upon the principle that ‘prevention
is better than cure’.
Preventive Maintenance is the regular & routine
maintenance of equipment, machine and assets
in order to keep them running and prevent any
costly unplanned downtime from unexpected
equipment failure.
Preventive Maintenance = Before a failure has
occurred.
13. Preventive Maintenance follows PDCA cycle.
◦ P (Plan: Making a machine inspection plan)
◦ D (Do: Executing machine inspection)
◦ C (Check: Identifying and diagnosing portions where a failure
or fault is anticipated, based on the results of inspection)
◦ A (Action: Repairing failed
or damaged portions as
planned).
14.
15. Preventive Maintenance is done in 3-ways.
◦ Time Based (Scheduled/Periodic Maintenance)
Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly
◦ Condition Based (Predictive Maintenance)
Temp, Pressure readings or when machine is not
working up to the mark.
◦ Performance Based
(500hrs, 1000hrs, 2000hrs)
16. To improve reliability & maintainability,
maintenance activity is must.
It can be achieved by implementation
a) MTBF improvement
b) MTTR reduction
17. It is a basic measure of the maintainability of
repairable items.
It represents the average time required to
repair the equipment.
MTTR = Total Breakdown Time
Total no of breakdown happened
18. It can be measured in minutes, hours or days.
It should be very low & ideally it should be
zero.
While calculations of MTTR, there is no
consideration of minor stoppages.
19. Question : Calculate MTTR for the month of
October 2019 in which there were 4 breakdowns
of 65, 35, 20 & 75 min.
According to formula of
MTTR = Total Breakdown Time
Total no of breakdown happened
= 65+35+20+75
4
= 195
4
= 48.75 min
= 48.75/60 hr
= 0.81 hrs
20. It is a basic measure of the reliability of
repairable items.
It is nothing but the average time between
failures of the system/equipment.
MTBF = Total Working Time – Total Breakdown Time
Total no of breakdown happened
21. It can be measured in minutes, hours or days.
It should be very high & ideally it should be
infinite.
There is no consideration of minor stoppages.
22. Question : Calculate MTBF for the month of
October 2019 in which there were 4
breakdowns of 65, 35, 20 & 75 min.
(Given : No. of working days were 27)
Working Time = Working Days x 24 hrs
Working Time = 27 days x 24 hrs
= 648 hrs
23. Breakdown Time = 65min+35min+20min+ 75min
= 195 min
= 195/60 hrs
= 3.25 hrs
24. According to formula of:
MTBF = Total Working Time – Total Breakdown Time
Total no of breakdown happened
= 648 – 3.25
4
= 644.75
4
= 161.18 hrs
25. It is a measure of the time a machine has been
up without any downtime.
It is measured in percentage.
Uptime = Available Time – Breakdown Time x 100
Available Time
= MTBF – MTTR
MTBF
26. Suppose, available time is 27 days &
breakdown time is 5 hours, then uptime will
be
Uptime = Available Time-Breakdown Time x 100
Available Time
= 27x24 – 5 x 100
27x24
= 648-5 x 100
648
Uptime = 99.22%
