MAINTENANCE PLAN

A maintenance plan is the set of scheduled maintenance, grouped or not

following any criteria and includes a variety of plant equipment, which
usually are not all. There is a whole set of equipment that are considered
non-maintainable from a preventive point of view, and in which much more
economical to apply a purely corrective policy

TYPES OF MAINTENANCE AND SOME COMMON TYPES

AMONG MORE

CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE

It is called corrective maintenance that corrects the defects observed in

the equipment or facilities, is the most basic form consists of
maintenance and troubleshooting or defects and fix or repair.

Curiosity:This maintenance is performed after a failure or breakdown in the

equipment which by its nature can not be planned in time occurs, presents
repair and replacement costs not budgeted, it involves changing some
pieces of equipment.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

In maintenance, preventive maintenance is intended for maintenance of equipment

or facilities by performing overhaul to ensure their proper functioning and reliability.
Preventive maintenance is performed on equipment in working order, as opposed to
corrective maintenance repairs or put in working those stopped working or damaged.

The first goal of maintenance is to avoid or mitigate the consequences of equipment

failures, achieving prevent incidents before they occur. The preventive maintenance
tasks include actions like changing worn parts, oil changes and lubricants, etc.
Preventive maintenance should avoid equipment failures before they occur.

Some of the most common methods for determining which preventive maintenance
processes should be carried out are the manufacturers recommendations, current
legislation, expert recommendations and actions carried out on similar assets.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CAN BE PERFORMED ACCORDING TO

DIFFERENT CRITERIA

Scheduled maintenance: where the reviews are done for time, mileage, hours
of operation, etc. So if we put such a car, and determine a scheduled
maintenance, tire pressure is checked every fortnight, the engine oil is changed
every 10,000 miles and the timing chain every 50,000 km

Predictive maintenance: try to determine the point at which repairs should be

performed by monitoring to determine the maximum period of use before being
repaired.

Maintenance of opportunity: is that done by taking advantage of periods of

non-use, thus avoiding stopping equipment or facilities when they are in use.

MAINTENANCE 'ZERO HOUR'

compose the set of tasks aimed check the equipment at scheduled

intervals well before any failure to appear either when equipment
reliability has decreased significantly so that it is risky to forecast their
production capacity. Applying this set of tasks aimed leave equipment
operating hours to zero, ie, as if it were new. These reviews are
replaced, or all items subject to wear are reconditioned. It is intended to
ensure, with high probability, a time of good performance set
beforehand. Sometimes it is referred to these interventions Stops or
Overhaul.

AMENDING MAINTENANCE

This involves modifying the facility to prevent the occurrence of certain

faults. It is questionable whether this is really maintenance or other
activity. In many installations, however, to achieve the objectives of
availability and reliability, it is essential to modify the installation to
correct or improve a design.
