Maintenance affects all aspects of the business and not only availability and costs, it also affects safety, environmental integrity, energy efficiency and product quality.
Maintenance is about preserving the functions of physical assets
Most failures do not occur more frequently, as equipment is older
Proactive maintenance is about avoiding, eliminating, or minimizing consequences
Generic maintenance programs are only applicable to equipment with the same operating context, functions and performance standards.
It is almost always necessary to make decisions in the maintenance environment, with inadequate failure rate information
As protections can also fail, the risk associated with protection systems must also be managed
There are four types of maintenance: predictive, preventive, detective (proactive) and corrective
The frequencies of predictive maintenance activities should be based on the periods of failure development (failure intervals or PF intervals)
Maintenance policies should be formulated by the people with the closest proximity to the assets to be maintained. Management must provide the tools to help them make the right decisions and ensure that decisions are reasonable and defensible.
Only maintainers, in conjunction with asset operators, can develop a successful and long-lasting maintenance plan.
