Trang 181 Introduction: Why Use Best
Maintenance Repair Practices?
“Only Permanent Repairs Made Here”
This book addresses, in a simplistic manner, the proper principles andtechniques in “Best Maintenance Practices—Mechanical.”
If these principles and techniques are followed, they will result in a seriousreduction in “self-induced failures.” This book is a tool that should be carriedand referenced by all mechanical maintenance personnel
A number of surveys conducted in industries throughout the United States have found that 70% of equipment failures are self-induced.
Maintenance personnel who are not following what are termed “BestMaintenance Repair Practices” substantially affect these failures Between30% and 50% of the self-induced failures are the result of maintenancepersonnel not knowing the basics of maintenance Maintenance personnelwho, although skilled, choose not to follow best maintenance repair prac-tices potentially cause another 20% to 30% of those failures The existence
of this problem has been further validated through the skills assessmentprocess performed in companies throughout the state of Georgia This pro-gram evaluated the knowledge of basic maintenance fundamentals through
a combination of written, identification, and performance assessments ofthousands of maintenance personnel from a wide variety of industries.The results indicated that over 90% lacked complete basic fundamentals
of mechanical maintenance This book focuses on the “Best MaintenanceRepair Practices” necessary for maintenance personnel to keep equip-ment operating at peak reliability and companies functioning more prof-itably through reduced maintenance costs and increased productivity andcapacity
The potential cost savings can often be beyond the understanding or prehension of management Many managers are in a denial state regardingmaintenance The result is that they do not believe that repair practicesdirectly impact an organization’s bottom line or profitability
Trang 19com-2 Introduction: Why Use Best Maintenance Repair Practices?
More enlightened companies have demonstrated that, by reducing induced failures, they can increase production capacity by as much
self-as 20%.
Other managers accept lower reliability standards from maintenance effortsbecause they either do not understand the problem or they choose to ignorethis issue A good manager must be willing to admit to a maintenanceproblem and actively pursue a solution
You may be asking, what are the “Best Maintenance Repair Practices”? Here are a few that maintenance personnel must know (See Table 1.1.) Looking through this abbreviated Best Maintenance Repair Practices table, try to determine whether your company follows these guidelines.
The results will very likely surprise you You may find that the best practiceshave not been followed in your organization for a long time In order to fixthe problem you must understand that the culture of the organization is atthe bottom of the situation Everyone may claim to be a maintenance expertbut the conditions within a plant generally cannot often validate that this
is true In order to change the organization’s basic beliefs, the reasons why
an organization does not follow these best practices in the repair of theirequipment must be identified
“Only Permanent Repairs Made Here”
A few of the most common reasons that a plant does not follow best maintenance repair practices are:
1 Maintenance is totally reactive and does not follow the definition ofmaintenance, which is to protect, preserve, and prevent from decline(reactive plant culture)
2 Maintenance personnel do not have the requisite skills
3 The maintenance workforce lacks either the discipline or direction tofollow best maintenance repair practices
4 Management is not supportive, and/or does not understand the sequences of not following the best practices (real understandingmust involve a knowledge of how much money is lost to the bottomline)

Components
Hydraulic fluid must be conditioned to component specifications.
1 Hydraulic fluid must be input into the hydraulic reservoir utilizing a filter pumping system only.
2 Filters must be rated to meet the needs of the component reliability and not equipment
manufacturer’s specification.
3 Filters must be changed
on a timed basis based on filter condition.
4 Oil samples must be taken
on a set frequency, and all particles should be trended in order to understand the condition and wear of the hydraulic

Second, identify the source of the problem (this could be combination ofissues):
● Maintenance skill level: Perform skills assessment (written and mance based) to evaluate whether skill levels are adequate to meet “BestMaintenance Repair Practices” for your specific maintenance organization
perfor-● Maintenance culture: Provide training to all maintenance and ment relative to a change in maintenance strategy and how it will impactthem individually (e.g., increase in profit for the plant, less overtime

● Maintenance strategy: Develop a plan to introduce a proactive tenance model with “Preventive and Planned Maintenance” at the top
main-of planned priorities This will provide more time for performingmaintenance utilizing the “Best Maintenance Repair Practices.”
Third, implement the changes needed to move toward following “BestMaintenance Repair Practices” and measure the financial gains
Everyone should be aware that financial rewards can be great but we must understand why they can also be hard to achieve.
Several of the reasons why implementing a program of change, such as theone discussed, can be doomed to failure include:
● Management not committed;
● Lack of discipline and direction;
Trang 24Introduction: Why Use Best Maintenance Repair Practices? 7
● Lack of management commitment and accountability;
● Momentum becomes slowed or changes direction;
● Lack of an adequately skilled workforce;
● No gap analysis or specific action plan to guide the effort to closethe gaps;
● Conflict between emergencies and performing maintenance following
“Best Maintenance Repair Practices” (this does not mean all “emergent”repairs must be performed to “as built” specifications the first time, but
it does mean that the repair, especially a temporary fix, will be correctedduring the next outage of the equipment)
To conclude, as many as 90% of companies in the United States do not low “Best Maintenance Repair Practices.” The percent that do follow thesepractices are realizing the rewards of a well run, capacity-driven organiza-tion that can successfully compete in today’s and tomorrow’s marketplace.Remember that use of the “Best Maintenance Repair Practices” might justbecome a mandatory requirement for the future success of an organization

Utilize this book as a resource to:
1 Write corrective maintenance procedures to attach to specific work ordertasks in a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS)
2 Train personnel regarding new and existing maintenance repair dures

Preventive and Predictive
Maintenance (PPM)
PPM is more than the regular cleaning, inspection, tightening, lubrication,and other actions intended to keep durable equipment in good operat-ing condition and to avoid failures It is an investment in the future—afuture without major, disruptive breakdowns of critical equipment It is,
Trang 258 Introduction: Why Use Best Maintenance Repair Practices?
at times, an investment without an immediate return on that investment.Here the philosophy must be, “Pay me now or pay me later,” because that isexactly what happens when it comes to PPM If preventive maintenance isnot accomplished in the proper way and in a timely manner, then the pay-me-later clause will occur at the most inopportune time That is the premisethat must be established and promoted by management While the mainte-nance department has the day-to-day responsibility of plant PPM, the plantmanager is ultimately responsible for setting the expectations concerningplant preventive maintenance
In general, the preventive and predictive maintenance effort is not focused
To spotlight some of the weaknesses, review the following points:
1 Many of the components that make up a good predictive maintenanceprogram have not been developed;
1 No mobile equipment has written PMs
2 Logbooks are used, but it can’t be determined who was looking at andusing the data
3 All preventive maintenance regarding lubrication should be reviewedfor detail and accuracy
4 The forecasting and generation of PM tasks because of the state of theCMMS is not part of the normal maintenance routine
Recommendations
Review all lubrication-related task procedures for detail and content
● Provide training in effective plant lubrication procedures and techniques.The lubricator, maintenance personnel, and maintenance supervisorsshould attend
