INTRODUCTION TO KEY CONCEPTS
MAINTENANCE
Maintenance is defined as the combination of activities by which equipment, assets or a system is kept or restored to a state in which it can perform its designated function.
The maintenance of an industry, building, vehicle, workshop, or machine is the process of keeping it in good condition by regularly checking it and repairing it when necessary.
INTRODUCTION TO KEY CONCEPTS
WHY MAINTAIN?
Maintenance is carried out to extend the useful life of an asset.

INTRODUCTION TO KEY CONCEPTSTYPES OF MAINTENANCE
1• Reactive Maintenance, whose cost is $18 per horsepower per year.
2• Preventive Maintenance, whose cost is $13 per horsepower per year.
3• Predictive Maintenance, whose cost is $9 per horsepower per year.
4• Reliability Centered Maintenance, a combination of reactive, predictive
and preventive maintenance whose cost is $6 per horsepower per year.
INTRODUCTION TO KEY CONCEPTSEFFICIENCY• Efficiency is the extent to which time, effort, or cost is well-
used for the intended task or function. • It is a measurable concept determined by a ratio of output
over input.• It is doing things right.
EFFECTIVENESS• Effectiveness is the capacity of producing the right result.• It is doing the right things.
CHALLENGES OF THE MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT OF OILSERV LIMITED
• Absence of workshop for heavy equipment• Inadequate maintenance workshop layout• Inadequate maintenance planning• Lack of laid down procedure for carrying out
maintenance work• Indeterminate mean time to repair (MTTR)• Lack of training for maintenance personnel
REINVENTING THE MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT
1. IMPROVED AND EFFECTIVE WORKSHOP AND LAYOUT FOR HANDLING HEAVY EQUIPMENT
Plant layout specifies the position of the overall arrangement of the various facilities such as equipment, material, manpower, materials handling, service facilities, and passage required to facilitate efficient operation of production system of the plant within the area of the site selected previously.
REINVENTING THE MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT
The proposed layout of the maintenance workshop for the maintenance department is shown below;

3. Using Computerized Maintenance Management System for planningA CMMS software package maintains a computer database of
information about an organization’s maintenance operations i.e. CMMIS-computerized maintenance management information systemIt performs the following functions• Tracking Work Orders• Scheduling Tasks• Recording Assets History• Managing Inventory• Audit and Certification
REINVENTING THE MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT
4. Training of Maintenance PersonnelTo achieve mastery of any skill, three vital steps are required;
• Apprenticeship Phase• Creative-Active Phase• Mastery Phase
During the training (apprenticeship) of both the maintenance engineer and technician, they are competent in the diagnostic tools for the automobile and can readily solve breakdown problems.
REINVENTING THE MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT
5. Introduce Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Best Practices
This is done by writing down and following the right procedures for carrying out maintenance work.
Example of maintenance best practices for changing v-belts is shown in the table below
Maintenance Task Standard Required Best Practices
Consequences for not following Best Practices
Probability of Future Failures Number of ⟩Self Induced failures, versus following best practices
V-Belts Measure the tension of v-belts through tension and deflection utilizing a belt tension gage.
1. Identify the proper tension and deflection for the belt. 2. Set tension to specifications
1. Premature belt failures through rapid belt wear or total belt failure.2. Premature bearing failure of driven and driver unit. 3. Belt creeping or slipping causing speed variation without excessive noise. 4. Motor shaft breakage.

BENEFITS OF REINVENTING THE MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT
• Improving the layout of the maintenance department to increase the efficiency of the department.
• Optimizing the cost of maintenance.• Reducing down-time due to failure of equipment.• Increasing the effectiveness of the department.• Improving the safe working environment for personnel. • Reducing the mean time to repair (MTTR) equipment.• Smoothening workflow.• Reducing material handling.• Reducing work in progress inventory.• CMMS creates efficient and effective planning of maintenance jobs.• Introducing Operations and Maintenance (O&M) best practices.
CONCLUSION
IT IS NOT THE EMPLOYER WHO PAYS WAGES- HE ONLY HANDLES THE MONEY. IT IS THE PRODUCT THAT PAYS WAGES.
