Changing Maintenance Scenario

Third Generation Second Generation Higher Availability First Generation Fix it when breaks 1940 1950 Long Equipt Life Lower Cost 1960 1970 Higher Availability & Reliability Greater Safety Environment 1980 1990 >

Todays scenario
There is a rapidly growing awareness of
the extent
To which equipment failure affect Safety and Environment The connection between Maintenance and product quality To achieve availability when user require it To contain cost

Todays Maintenance goals

Maximization of availability Safety and environment Reduction in maintenance cost Ensuring quality production

Is it Reliability ?

The Challenge

Maintenance resources are limited Objectives are in many front Preventive activities are unlimited How to prioritize the activities to match the resources and achieve the objectives Calls for application of Maintenance management Techniques Reliability Centered Maintenance is a technique which may provide the answers.

Reliability Centered Maintenance
