Planned Maintenance
What is Planned Maintenance?
Tom Asenato, senior engineer at Eastman Kodak's Process Engineering Division defines predictive, preventitive and failure maintenance as follows:
Preventive maintenance is based on a calender day, cycle time, run hours, or some other reference that reflects activity level. This method requires mechanics with more experience or skill to look for some indication of wear, damage, or a broken part. The advantage is that maintenance costs are about the same from inspection to inspection.
Failure maintenance means you run the equipment until it needs repair. The disadvantage is that the failure always happens while the equipment is in service.
Predictive maintenance uses the process of measurement from data points established by the equipment manufacturer when a system is first installed. You compare the amount of deviation from the start to existing points or conditions, then adjust the equipment back to starting conditions, if possible. You use experience to guide you and predict a point when replacement is required.
