Are you trapped in reactive maintenance? Your company maintenance work is purely reactive and does not pursue any strategy if: 1. Required spare parts are not in stock and nobody knows 2. You will be interviewed every morning at the production meeting after the last shift and the last unplanned machine outages 3. Reduces the useful life of the machines and increases downtime 4. Employees performing maintenance are poorly trained and maintenance is poorly prepared, with high turnover in the maintenance department 5. The maintenance eliminates disturbances but avoids disturbances permanently 6. I he dally, weekly, monthly and all other maintenance and inspections are not carried out regularly 7. The production makes their problems to problems of maintenance #mechanical #enginnering #Maintenance

Machine Maintenance: As a technical personnel, you are expected to dot all I's and cross all T's to make the Equipment available... You must be proactive rather than reactive. Preventive maintenance planning should be thorough, but not complex; such that it produces a smart result... Prior to Planning, a good LLF activity ( Look Listen and Feel) should be carried out to ascertain grey arrears in the Equipment(s)... By this approach, breakdown of the Equipment will be drastically reduced. Maintenance cost will as well be minimised and ROI ( return on investment) will be positive. #maintenanceTips #smartEngineers #PreventiveMaintenance #proactiveness

Preventive Maintenance VS Reactive Maintenance

Preventive vs Predictive vs Corrective Maintenance

What is wrench time? It's the actual time technicians spend directly working on tasks like repairing equipment, a key measure of productivity in maintenance operations. Wrench time excludes various activities such as preparing tools, traveling, waiting for resources, paperwork, and attending meetings. Improving wrench time is crucial for efficiency, with some industries having as low as 20-30% productive time. Organizations aiming to boost productivity focus on optimizing factors that reduce wrench time, leading to increased efficiency and decreased downtime. Achieving 50% to 60% wrench time signifies strong performance in maintenance operations. #MaintenanceManagement #Productivity #Efficiency #MaintenanceOperations

Happy Monday! What are the most important aspects of Preventative Maintenance for you? Just like cars need oil changes, machinery requires regular maintenance to keep them running smoothly. Routine inspections, lubrication, and part replacements extend the lifespan of critical assets, saving you from unnecessary downtime, cost and loss of revenue. Here are VSM's 5 key recommendations when implementing a preventative maintenance plan in your factory or plant: 📋 Regular Inspections Conduct routine inspections of all machinery and equipment to identify potential issues before they escalate. This can include checking for signs of wear and tear, leaks, unusual noises, excess heat build up and any other abnormalities that could indicate a problem. 📋 Create a Maintenance Schedule and Matrix Develop a comprehensive maintenance schedule outlining the tasks to be performed and their frequency (daily, weekly, monthly etc.). 📋 Prioritize Critical Assets Not all equipment requires the same level of maintenance. Identify and prioritize critical assets that have the most significant impact on production and overall operations. 📋 Have Properly Trained Personnel Ensure that your maintenance team is well-trained in equipment operation, troubleshooting, and maintenance procedures, or invest in a subcontractor like VSM who have vast experience in preventative maintenance. 📋 Document Everything Maintain detailed records of all maintenance activities, including inspections, repairs, parts replacements, and equipment history. This documentation not only helps track maintenance schedules but keeps you compliant. In essence, preventative maintenance isn't just about fixing what's broken; it's about preventing things from breaking in the first place. By following these recommendations, you can establish a robust preventative maintenance program that not only minimizes unplanned downtime but also maximizes equipment reliability, longevity, and overall operational efficiency.
