"PM" is the scheduled downtime for equipment during which equipment that is in marginal working condition is identified and remedied. PM includes routine mechanical maintenance and adjustments.
Work performed on operational equipment or building systems to ensure uninterrupted, continued, and efficient operation. Includes diagnosis and performance testing.
Maintenance procedures conducted to prevent later repairs and extending a useful life.
All action s performed in an attempt to retain an item in specified condition by providing system atic inspection, detection, and prevention of incipient failure [D03672] MIL-STD 1388-1A
Steps or repairs done in advance to prevent harm to property or equipment by performing proper upkeep and repairs.
Also known as PM, maintenance performed according to a fixed schedule involving the routine repair and replacement of machine parts and components. ( 099)
Periodic maintenance performed on manufacturing equipment to replace consumables, clean, tune, etc. to prevent system failure
n: a system of conducting regular checks, routine maintenance and testing of equipment to lengthen the service life and to potentially permit replacement or repair of weakened or faulty parts before equipment failure results.
A practical step-by-step guide to reducing equipment operating costs and downtime, and improving operating safety. Book © 1999 FMO16106NC US$ 47.95 Instructor Guide FMO16503T US$ 35.95 Student Guide FMO16603W US$ 17.95
Activities done to insure the operating availability of a production resource and its ability to meet process specifications. They are done on a pre-scheduled basis, or based on the identification by a monitoring system of conditions that may cause future breakdowns.
Activities aimed at keeping equipment operating at peak performance.
Much as the name implies, preventive maintenance, often abbreviated PM, refers to performing proactive maintenance in order to prevent system problems. This is contrasted to diagnostic or corrective maintenance, which is performed to correct an already-existing problem
Planned actions undertaken to retain an item at a specified level of performance by providing repetitive scheduled tasks, which prolong system operation and a useful life.
Inspection, lubrication, regular part replacement, or any other scheduled maintenance intended to prevent unscheduled problems; also called Preventative maintenance
Maintenance (including inspection, cleaning, and repair) of equipment on a regular basis that is sufficient to prevent unplanned failure
The care and servicing by maintenance professionals for the purpose of maintaining system reliability levels. This includes scheduled downtime maintenance.
The maintenance action taken, on the basis of regular methodical inspections, to avoid or minimize costly measures at some future time.
inspections, tests, adjustments, cleaning and similar activities carried out on elevator and escalator equipment with the intention of preventing malfunctions from occurring during operation. It is designed to keep equipment in proper operating order and is done on a schedule basis. It is also referred to as schedule maintenance.
Includes regularly scheduled activities such as painting and seasonal servicing of appliances and systems. Preventive maintenance preserves the long-range value and physical integrity of the building. This is both the most critical and the most neglected maintenance responsibility. Failure to perform preventive maintenance invariably leads to greater expense in other areas of maintenance.
Regular and systematic inspection, cleaning, and replacement of worn parts, materials, and systems. Preventive maintenance helps to prevent parts, material, and systems failure by ensuring that parts, materials and systems are in good working order.
Maintenance directed at preventing errors so that they don't recur and cause future disruption in operations.
A program of planned and regular activities to service the physical building and mechanical systems of a structure. These activities extend the life of a building and its systems, and make maintenance budgets more predictable.
maintenance preformed to equipment to try to prevent future random failures of the equipment or cleans to improve the quality of the equipment output. Preventive maintenance is performed on a scheduled basis based on elapsed time, number of runs or number of wafers processed.
Maintenance activities often performed by machine operators at regularly scheduled intervals, to keep equipment in good working condition.
A method of preventing problems by maintaining wear items according to a regular schedule. Lubricating, adjusting and replacing all wear items before they can cause problems contributes to trouble-free driving and longer vehicle life. Regular fluid checks
Maintaining scheduled up-keep and improvement to equipment so equipment can actually improve with age. aka PM.
The care and lubrication of equipment and machines.
All maintenance performed in order to prevent a failure, or to detect a failure early. illustration
A program of building maintenance implemented to reduce the possibility of problems, usually through periodic inspection, cleaning, adjustment. calibration. and replacement of functioning, parts of the HVAC system, as well as housekeeping practices to reduce the buildup of potential contaminants.
