Friends, today in this article we will learn about the implementation of periodic maintenance. I am going to give you information about all this in a very good way. So let’s start.
Implementation of Periodic Maintenance
The implementation of periodic maintenance can be explained through the following points-
Selection of equipment for periodic maintenance
The goal of productivity can be achieved only through the equipment used in any industrial system. Hence, it is necessary to take care of these equipment. Selecting such equipment is the primary process. On the basis of this selection process, the equipment is inspected and maintained as per the need.
Analyzing device manufacturer guidelines
Every equipment is given equipment related guidelines by the manufacturer, under which the maintenance system and rated capacity of the equipment is given. The Mean Time Before Failure (MTBF) and the latest technology in case of equipment replacement are determined by the manufacturer. Maintenance process is started by considering this type of data.
Determination of maintenance time intervals
The maintenance time interval is determined on the basis of the maintenance done earlier. Selection of maintenance time in any running system is complex. In this, the time is determined in such a way that there is no impact on the productivity of the system.
adhere to time intervals
The maintenance process should be followed at the time interval determined by the above analysis. Under this, maintenance of the selected equipment is started as per the manufacturer’s guidelines.
Determining the ideal interval for periodic maintenance
The prescribed maintenance interval depends on the functioning of the equipment and its maintenance history. The guidelines given by the machine manufacturing companies are the main source for maintenance interval. Periodic maintenance is started on this basis. Most of the equipment or machine manufacturers give MTBF (Mean Time between Failure). According to this, the maintenance time is decided as per the requirement or on the basis of the performance of the equipment. Maintenance time is an essential factor to achieve high efficiency in any system. Periodic maintenance is selected on the basis of factors like operating time of the equipment and temperature etc.
Examples of Periodic Maintenance – This type of maintenance is small, has minimum cost and is extremely safe. It can be understood through the following examples-
Replacing Filters
The filters used in HVAC units are replaced after a certain time interval as part of maintenance. These filters do not work efficiently after their prescribed age. Hence, in the absence of maintenance, the efficiency of the units starts decreasing.
Maintenance of vehicles
Periodic maintenance of vehicles is essential for achieving higher efficiency or saving energy. By maintaining it at regular intervals, breakdown can be prevented. In maintenance work, the lights, brakes, tyres etc. of the vehicles are inspected.
Maintenance of residential buildings
Residential building managers test electrical fittings, air conditioning HVAC units at annual intervals. After testing, a maintenance plan is prepared.
Advantages of Periodic Maintenance- Following are the main advantages of periodic maintenance-
- Increased Lifespan of Equipments- Periodic maintenance is done to reduce the maintenance required for a system. This increases the life of the equipment. This ensures that the equipment or machines are inspected at regular intervals and breakdowns that may occur in the future can also be prevented.
- Enhanced Performance – The productivity of every system depends on the machines working in it. If these machines work at high efficiency, the performance of the system increases. Hence, maintenance of the system at the prescribed time intervals increases the performance.
- Reduced Breakdown Time – The value of breakdown time depends on maintenance. If the maintenance time is more then the system cannot work for a long time. Hence it is necessary to reduce breakdown maintenance.
If the machines are inspected at regular intervals then breakdown maintenance is reduced. This is possible through periodic maintenance.
