You should be able to:1. Explain the importance of maintenance in production
systems2. Describe the range of maintenance activities3. Discuss preventive maintenance and the key issues
associated with it4. Explain breakdown maintenance and name the key
issues associated with it5. State how the Pareto phenomenon pertains to
maintenance decisions
14S-2Student Slides
MaintenanceAll activities that maintain facilities and
equipment in good working order so that a system can perform as intended
Maintenance activity categories:Buildings and groundsEquipment maintenance
14S-3Student Slides
The goal of maintenance is to keep the production system in good working order at minimal cost
Reasons for wanting to keep equipment and machines in good operating condition:1. Avoid production or service disruptions2. Not add to production or service costs3. Maintain high quality4. Avoid missed delivery dates
14S-4Student Slides
Reactive:Breakdown maintenance
Dealing with breakdowns or problems when they occur
Proactive:Preventive maintenance
Reducing breakdowns through a program of lubrication, adjustment, cleaning, inspection, and replacement of worn parts
14S-5Student Slides
The goal of preventive maintenance is to reduce the incidence of breakdown or failures in the plant or equipment to avoid the associated costs Loss of output Idle workers Schedule disruption Injuries Damage to other equipment, products, or facilities Repairs
Inventories of spare parts Repair tools and equipment Repair specialists
14S-6Student Slides
It is periodicIt can be scheduled according to the availability
of maintenance personnel and to avoid interference with operating schedules
Maintenance is scheduled using some combination of1. The result of planned inspections that reveal a need
for maintenance2. According to the calendar (passage of time)3. After a predetermined number of operating hours
14S-7Student Slides
The goal is to strike a balance between the cost of preventive maintenance and the cost of breakdown
The amount of preventive maintenance, therefore, is a function of the expected frequency of breakdown, the cost of breakdown, and the cost of preventive maintenance
Student Slides14S-8
The frequency of breakdown of a machine per month is $1,000 and the cost of preventive maintenance is $1,250 per month. If preventive maintenance is performed, the probability of a machine breakdown is negligible. Should the manager use preventive maintenance, or would it be cheaper to repair the machine when it breaks down?

Suppose the average time before breakdown is normally distributed with a mean of 3 weeks and a standard deviation of .60 weeks. If breakdown cost average $1,000 and preventive maintenance costs $250, what is the optimal maintenance interval?
Find the number of standard deviations from the mean represented by an area under the normal curve of .25
Using the standard normal table, it is -0.67Use this value to determine the maintenance interval

14S-11Student Slides
Predictive maintenance An attempt to determine when best to perform
preventive maintenance activitiesIdeally, preventive maintenance will be performed
just prior to a breakdown or failure because this will result in the longest possible use of facilities or equipment without a breakdown
Total productive maintenance JIT approach where workers perform preventive
maintenance on the machines they operate
14S-12Student Slides
Maintenance problems are sometimes designed into products:Poor designDesigner have accorded other aspects of
design greater importanceCostAppearance is more important than maintenance
activities
Student Slides14S-13
Approaches to dealing with breakdowns:Use of standby or backup equipmentInventories of spare parts are maintainedUse operators who are able to perform at
least minor repairs on the equipment they operate
Have repair people who are well trained and readily available to diagnose and correct problems
14S-14Student Slides
When breakdowns become frequent and/or costly:What is the cost of replacement compared to
continued maintenance?Issues:
Predicting breakdownsTechnological changeSystem disruptionsTraining employees on the use of new equipmentForecast of future demand
