3.What are the objectives of maintenance management?

Discuss at least five important indices for measuring the performance of maintenance department. define maintenance management as follows : All the activities of the management that determine the maintenance objectives or priorities (defined as targets assigned and accepted by the management and maintenance department), strategies (defined as a management method in order to achieve maintenance objectives), and responsibilities and implement them by means such as maintenance planning, maintenance control and supervision, and several improving methods including economical aspects in the organization. the objectives of the MMS A. Optimize the use of available funds, personnel, and facilities and equipment through effective maintenance management methods. B. Provide accurate data for maintenance and construction program decisionmaking. C. Systematically identify maintenance needs and deficiencies and capital improvement needs at all field stations. D. Determine the unfunded maintenance backlog for the Service. E. Establish field station, Regional, and national maintenance and construction project priorities. F. Enable preparation of Service maintenance and construction budget requests using systematic, standardized procedures. G. Monitor and document corrective actions, project expenditures, and accomplishments. H. Conduct comprehensive condition assessments of all Service real property and personal property valued at $50,000 or greater. **MAXIMIZE THE OVERALL EQUIPMENT EFFECTIVENESS. **ESTABLISH A COMPLEX SYSTEM OF MAINTENANCE FOR THE MACHINES ENTIRE LIFE. **CREATE A BETTER WORK ENVIRONMENT AND PARTICIPATION FOR ALL EMPLOYEES. ALL THESE MEANS 1.ZERO INTERRUPTIONS. 2.ZERO DEFECTS. 3.ZERO ACCIDENTS.

Primary objective Conduct maintenance engineering assignments within clearly defined parameters and standards under general direction. Assignments may involve research, product development, laboratory testing, design, installation, commissioning of equipment, maintenance or construction. Plan and co ordinate complex maintenance engineering assignments entailing technical specification and preparation of detailed plans. Specific ACTIVITIES Co ordinate the use of labour and equipment to minimise maintenance costs, monitor progress and evaluate results. Recommend changes to maintenance policy and plans to optimise the availability and productivity of plant and equipment. Supervise the operation of a maintenance team carrying out repairs and a planned maintenance programme and ensure the availability of staff and spare parts for emergency repairs. Maintain building structures and electrical installations and provide and maintain power, water, steam, air and other services. Participate in the selection, installation and commissioning of new equipment. Liaise with production staff to co ordinate repair work, statutory safety inspections and supply of new plant and equipment with production schedules. Consult with production departments to plan maintenance schedules, labour requirements and work programmes, and ensure die regular maintenance of plant, equipment and structures. Prepare operating budgets for approval by senior management. Estimate labour requirements and time schedules for maintenance work. Supervise staff carrying out repairs and maintenance work and ensure the implementation of planned maintenance schedules.

Check daily work reports and ensure that accurate records of failures, repairs, replacements and ancillary maintenance data are maintained. Analyse records and identify opportunities to improve maintenance programmes and suitability of plant. Investigate new maintenance methods and systems and participate in the installation or improvement of power, water, steam, air and other services associated with existing plant or the conunissioning of new equipment or plant. Plan maintenance schedules and work programmes to ensure regular maintenance of plant, equipment and structures. ======================================================================= Operations Perspective Goals: Reduce operating costs and risks; maximize output KPI Process availability variance Utility variance Product transfer indicator Quality limit excursions, number Actual counter measures, number Startup indicators Shutdown indicators Offspec product Scrap value Inventory --------------------------------------------------------------------------Reliability Perspective Goals: Maximize uptime; preserve plant and asset integrity KPI Cumulative nonavailability of critical assets Unscheduled maintenance events, number Completed work
