Preface
Most industries today perform their maintenance on a firefighting or reactive mode, fix when it fails
syndrome, others called this the Bandaid Therapy. This generation of maintenance evolved during
the 1940s way before the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. Equipments at that time were simple
hence this type of maintenance does not seem to make an effect on production at all. But as time passed
by, more and more developments had been made, equipments are highly modernize and automated to
perform the task required, but still most Maintenance Managers cant seem to get away from the concept
of Reactive Maintenance. Most companies hire and look for maintenance people with adequate experience
of the equipment and not on the systems of maintenance, thats why there are only few people with such
understanding of the maintenance system.
Maybe you had been using the concept of Preventive Maintenance and have standards set forth and
followed overhauling or replacing some parts on a specific set of time indicated in the equipments manual,
and from time to time with your customers visiting your plant finding some loopholes in your system
try to add a couple of lists in your maintenance tasks, and you have 20 customers, hence before your
maintenance lists only compose of 10 activities now its up to 100. My question is does increasing the
activities of maintenance task ensures a higher reliability of your equipment or its the other way around ?
Perhaps doing more maintenance on an equipment will do you more harm than good in the long run.
I have studied and trained on TPM Methodology, RCM2 by John Moubray and implemented a prototype
team in one of our divisions, and after exhausting meetings we finally arrived with a comprehensive indebt
and true maintenance task that must be performed on their equipments, and this were product of
continuous brainstorming of the most experience people in their field which the team composed of. The
team had been stunned by their final report which minimize their activities by at least 100 inspections, so
when we set the time for it to implement the new system, the team were somewhat afraid, and implementation had been delayed. Later on I found out that most of the inspection items listed in their maintenance
tasks came from their customers and included in their maintenance standards or specs during customer
audit. I tried to talk to their superior, and finally after exhausting hours of explaining to them that this is a
more reliable maintenance task, they agree, but said that they cant remove the old task so they will do
them both simultaneously. This is like disposing your garbage and after doing it, you again put some more
garbage. finally, I told their boss and the team if your not going to perform what you know is right, then you
make your choice., The RCM data had been completed but never implemented in their division its in one of
the drawers of the team and maybe it will stay there until it become some scratch paper in the future.
Preface
Some lessons learned is that when making some changes in your maintenance task be sure to have the
guts to back it up since you might be facing some walls in front of you. I am referring here to customers,
equipment vendors, Quality teams where they will penalize you if you dont perform this task which is
included in the standards, be sure that the standards will be changed and these people must be educated
on the new system, I believe that increasing the number of maintenance task will not actually lead you to
a more better reliable equipment but its the other way around.
It is not easy to change a maintenance system that had been in your company for many years, but it is
possible for every company to transform from a reactive to a proactive stage, and this is the objective
of this book. I have detailed every step so you can follow them thoroughly. Let us face the facts about
your system of maintenance so we can learn from them. Many companies are struggling to survive
together with their competition, maintenance is one big factor where the company can save on cost if
one has sufficient knowledge to convert their maintenance task into a proactive one. I do not meant here
on cutting maintenance cost where Maintenance Manager disapproves all P.R. (Purchase Order) of parts
needed for a monthly Preventive Maintenance.
There is no such thing as overnight success or one day transformation, it will take you several months
and years of achieving a world class maintenance system so you can stay competitive in your arena.
Your greatest investment here will be time, but I guarantee that this will pay you off by reducing your
cost in maintenance. Make these changes now, not because you can sleep soundly at night without
your phone ringing and asking you to report to your plant due to unexpected breakdowns but because
every company that exists are on a survival mode. Millions of dollars can be saved and avoided on
maintenance by adopting a change in your system of maintenance some investments had to be made
and this is not where you should cut on costs. The first step in every change is getting yourself educated,
and attending trainings.
Having a good maintenance system is not about having the best maintenance software in town that can
automate your task, print them and have the lists on what your going to do. This is about how spare parts
behave and understanding them so you can determine the most appropriate maintenance task for that
part. This is about learning the basics and addressing basic equipment condition which had been neglected
These basic equipment condition includes cleaning, lubricating, bolting yet when you check your own
equipment, how many bolts are missing or not the same due to the number of times it had been repaired,
overhauled or undergone Preventive Maintenance Schedule. Perform the basic first before you can
advance to any improvement program.
So the question of what is the best maintenance system to adopt, the answer is doing the 4 Phases of
Planned Maintenance :
Phase 1 : Stabilize MTBF Establishing the Need For A Basic Equipment Condition
Phase 2 : Lengthening Equipment Lifetime Addressing Design Weaknesses
Phase 3 : Knowing when to use the different Maintenance Tasks on Hand
Phase 4 : Using Predictive Maintenance Technology
Preface
A Typical Day With Operations
Perhaps you had been called late at night to come back to the plant due to some failures the maintenance
cant handle, you came to the plant at about 3:00 am and it took you about a couple of hours to get the
equipment running, its 5:00 am now in the morning and it will take you a couple of hours to go home so
you decided to stay on the plant looking exhausted, your maintenance manager shakes your hand and
asked you how youd fixed it, chat with you over a cup of coffee.
Another typical experience is that production needs to deliver x output for the day then suddenly, a major
equipment fails, now maintenance is called to do the repair. You have not experience this fault or failure
before, and soon hours is passing by but still you cant fix the problem. The operation manager is now
worried and stays in your back, he becomes impatient and soon tells you what to do, and after following
him, the problem had been doubled. He starts to increase his voice , which creates a panic within you.
Or it had been a day when Machine no. 13 is due for a Preventive Maintenance Overhaul, you had
advise the operations on the said schedule through e-mail, but who cares, the time had come to finally
shut down the equipment, but operations wont agree, finally in order to settle the feud, you get a waiver
in your hand and let the operations sign it, in which the last part of the paragraph reads that whatever
happens to this equipment, maintenance will not be held liable, you give the form and the operations
manager place it in his upcoming files which is about 2 feet high,

I Introduction on Planned Maintenance
Breakdown Loss
Sometimes called as Equipment Failure loss is a loss when machine stops due to loses in its specified
Functions. There are two types of breakdowns, Function Reduction Breakdown which is when deterioration of equipment causes other losses in function even when the equipment can still operate. Imagine
your car running, and stating that the primary function of a car is to travel from distance A to distance B.
It can comply with the function, but one of the cars headlight is busted, side mirror is missing, wheels hub
is missing, car have excessive oil leak due to damage in seal, cars aircon does not work, wiper is missing
and so on, but still the car can function and travel from distance A to distance B, this is what Function
Reduction Breakdown is and most equipments suffer this type of losses and it seems that most of the time
this type of losses are being neglected. These are breakdowns which account for the largest proportion of
overall equipment losses. The second one is Function-Loss Breakdown which is failure in which equipment
stops completely. These are losses in which production is stopped another term is unplanned downtime.
Breakdowns halt production, deliveries are delayed, quality problems arises, maintenance cost is
increased, a single breakdown can create havoc throughout the plant. Analysis in the breakdown failure
can be attributed mostly to human problems, basic neglection, design problems, lack of operator skills,
lack of repair skills. Thats why a basic understanding of the failure must be address thoroughly.
Breakdowns are caused by many factors, and most of the time slight deteriorations are overlooked which
Contribute highly to equipments breakdown. Improvement in equipment performance can be done by
Simple addressing minor problems such as loose and missing screws, abrasion, debris and contaminant
Are addressed. Zero unplanned breakdown can be established by addressing the following :
Prevent accelerated deterioration
Maintaining Basic Equipment Condition
Maintaining Operating Condition
Improvement of Maintenance Quality
Addressing rootcauses of breakdowns
Correcting Design weaknesses
Once a breakdown occurred be certain to possibly learn everything you can and studying the causes,
conditions, maintenance tasks involved, repair method, much can be learned to prevent it from happening.
The basic responsibility of each maintenance is not to repair breakdowns but to analyze what had caused
The breakdown problem and draw measures to prevent the recurrence of the problem. If this is not being
Performed, you will just be wasting your precious time on doing repairs and quick fixes on the same
problem over and over again.

The first step in improving Set-Up is to distinguished activities that can be performed while the equipment is
running from those that can be performed only when it is shut down. Differential External from Internal SetUp. External Set-Up are those activities which can be performed while the machine is running while an
Internal Set-Up are those activities which can be performed only when the machine had been shut down
for conversion. The goal on Set-Up is to minimize the time to perform it, and one of the techniques is to
write down all the steps performed in doing your set-up, then converting Internal Set-Up to External Set-Up
This can be accomplished by using a standard one touch jig, compare the shapes of tools and jigs for
different products and consider preparing a standard jig that can be shared by all. Eliminate adjustments
during internal Set-Up time by using intermediate jigs.
Here are 2 steps that can be taken to eliminate the need for adjustment
In many cases adjustments can be scaled down simply by improving the precision of equipment, jigs
and tools. The accumulation of imprecise settings creates the need for many avoidable adjustments.
Standardize procedures. Lack of consistency in the standards for measurement, quantification, and
Other operation and maintenance procedures is another cause of unnecessary adjustments.
Set-up losses cannot be eliminated but they can be reduced dramatically, poor set-up can cause other
Losses such as breakdown, quality problems and it is best that procedures on each product set-up be
Standardize. One maintenance can set-up one equipment differently and might take 15 processes while
One may take as much as 20 to 25 steps. What is important is that whoever is performing the set-up
Procedure have a set of standards to follow. Much can be learn by knowing the difference between what
Are internal and external set-up practices and most of them only needs common sense
Start-Up Loss
Start-Up loss is a type of loss that occurs until the start-up, running in and machine conditions of the
conditions of the equipment have been.
Start-Up Loss means that the material loss caused at the initial stage of production launching, namely
namely the loss caused during the period from start-up of production to stabilized production stage
Its frequency depends on several factors such as unstable machining conditions, poor maintenance,
and operator skills
Start-Up loss can also occurs after a poor set-up or conversion, after overhauling an equipment subject
subject to their Preventive Maintenance Schedule. It takes sometime for a machine to stabilize.
Start-up loss are difficult to identify. Their scope includes the stability of processing conditions, workers
skills and training, loss incurred by test operations and other factors. A thorough understanding of why this
type of loss occurs can be addressed through RCM2 or Reliability-Centred Maintenance which is covered
in Chapter 4.

List all your equipments by preparing a Machine Inventory Lists ( appendix - ), and conduct a machine
ranking for all equipments. Rank A will be the worst and Rank C as the good machine. Only machines
that are rank A and B should undergo the Planned Maintenance activities. Prepare a category for each
equipment and rank them accordingly. Perform this on all your equipment lists.
Definition of breakdown must be clear to our Maintenance people and it must not be confused with Minor
Stoppages or Assists. Planned Breakdowns or Schedules Time Based Maintenance must not be considered
as breakdowns since they are Planned downtime. Once completed a summary of figures on machine
ranking will give the maintenance team adequate data for their selection of their 1st pilot machine that will

It is important that you divide your Pilot Machine into different major sub-assemblies and breakdown
must determine what sub-assembly did it occur. This will tell you which is the worst sub-assembly in terms
of breakdown so you can prioritize your Planned Maintenance Activities into that sub-assembly. Data listed
above data must only include unplanned downtime caused by breakdowns.

Summary
Phase 0 is the foundation of building a solid Planned Maintenance structure, aim at completing this initial
stage and determine a timeframe of completion. These are the basic activities needed for you to start a
strategic maintenance program.
Not all equipments will undergo each step/phase of Planned Maintenance but rather only those which are
classified and rank as A and B. The aim of Phase 0 is to plan ahead your activities on Planned Maintenance,
create a Timeframe of completion. It will take 1 to 2 months to complete this stage. Once the planning had
been achieved, your next step is to proceed to the details step/phase activities of Planned Maintenance.

Equipment Audit
After the room or activity board audit, both PM auditor and the team proceed with the equipment and
auditor checks the validity of the documents with respect to the actual condition of the equipment. They
also looked for other unwanted factors and may include them in their pending requirements if found.
managers performing the audit asked the teams the benefits of performing Planned Maintenance and
how they are going to sustain whatever activities they had performed specially on restoration so as not
to let the equipment deteriorate and left unattended again. It is important that standards set forth
must be performed as this will serve as their sustenance measures, otherwise if these will be just for
show-off purposes, a couple of months work will bring back again the equipment to the stage where they
had started. Do not skip this very important factor, sustaining equipment must be done at all measures.
After several question and answer on the part of the team and the PM Auditors, the audit is concluded
And the team are graded for their performance, if the team had attain the standards and requirements
Set forth in their Phase 1 activities, then they deserve a passing mark which is usually a rating of 85%
or higher. If many items that must be addressed are found by the auditors, team may achieve a remark
of unconditionally passed unless otherwise all pending requirements are settled on the date both agreed
by the auditor and the team. Phase 1 audit compose of the following :
Preparatory Stage Completion of Phase 0 activities, how pilot machine is selected, training completion
Understanding of Current Condition
Restoration Activities and Completion
Rootcause Analysis and Countermeasure to prevent recurrence of the problem

Although JIPM procedures teach that each Step or Phase be done in sequence and on the same machine
with the same team involved. Whatever course of action in your maintenance organization you will undergo,
take note that it shall be the responsibility of the maintenance manager to consistently review the process
each team undergoes
