Types of MaintenanceOrganization
Decentralized:
o In large sized plants located at different
places, inter-unit communication is
difficult.
o Therefore, in such cases the
decentralized type of organization is best
suited.
o The maintenance department works
under the direct control of chief
engineer/manager who is in-charge of
production.
o A better coordination between
production and maintenance workforce
can be achieved in this type of
organization.
Centralized:
o In relatively small factories where
communication between the
departments is more easy, the
centralized type of maintenance
organization is preferred.
o The maintenance function works
under the direct control of chief
maintenance engineer who is
responsible for all the maintenance
work in the factory.
o The responsibilities and
accountabilities must be clearly
defined for maintenance as well as
production personnel to avoid
confrontation.

Benefits of CentralizedMaintenance
1. More efficient compared to decentralized maintenance
2. Fewer maintenance personnel required
3. More effective line supervision
4. Greater use of special equipment and specialized
maintenance persons
5. Generally allows more effective on-the-job training

Types of Maintenance
Systems
Maintenancecan be divided into two groups:
A. Unplanned Maintenance or Breakdown Maintenance
B. Planned Maintenance
I. Preventive Maintenance
II. Corrective maintenance
III. Scheduled Maintenance
IV. Condition-Based Maintenance
V. Reliability-centered Maintenance
VI. Design Out Maintenance
Maintenance can be performed in two modes:
C. Running Maintenance (Asset is in operation)
D. Shut Down Maintenance (Asset is out of service)
6.
Breakdown Maintenance
oBreakdown maintenanceis basically the “run it till it breaks” maintenance
mode.
oNo actions or efforts are taken to maintain the equipment until a component
or equipment fails or becomes inoperative.
oThe work which is required to be done in the case of an emergency failure,
has to be carried out to bring back the equipment to its original working
condition.
oIn case of risky equipment /systems such as aircraft, elevators and other such
items, chances with only breakdown maintenance cannot be taken.
oEven though it appears to be an economical proposition, work would greatly
suffer if the machine is not restored to operational condition immediately.
oIn this type of maintenance, during the repair, no proper care is taken to
know the real cause of the breakdown, which in turn may lead to frequent
failures of same kind.

Breakdown Maintenance
Advantages
1. LessInvestment.
2. Less staff.
Disadvantages
3. Increased cost due to unplanned downtime of equipment.
4. Increased labor cost, especially if overtime is needed.
5. Cost involved with repair or replacement of equipment.
6. Possible secondary equipment or process damage from
equipment failure.
7. Inefficient use of staff resources.
8.
Planned Maintenance
Under thistype of maintenance, the work is planned
beforehand to avoid random failures.
It decides not only the ‘when’ and ‘what’ of maintenance ,
but also by ‘whom’ it would be undertaken.
To be able to take informed decision and planning of
maintenance activities data collection and record keeping is
important.
Historical data may be used to decide the
periodicity/frequency of the maintenance work.
Work study/Time study can be done for devising optimal
maintenance schedule for the given system.
9.
Preventive Maintenance
Preventive maintenanceis the Actions performed on a time- or machine-
run-based schedule that detect, preclude, or mitigate degradation of a
component or system with the aim of sustaining or extending its useful
life through controlling degradation to an acceptable level.
Preventive Maintenance is the utilization of planned and coordinated
inspections, adjustments, repairs and replacements needed in
maintaining an equipment or plant.
One of the main objective of the preventive maintenance is to detect
and prevent any condition that may cause machine failure before such
failure occurs.
This makes it possible to plan and schedule the maintenance work
without interruption in production schedule and thus improve the
availability of equipment.
10.
Preventive Maintenance…(cont.)
Following activitiesare taken-up as part of preventive
maintenance:
i. Routine attention
ii. Routine Examination
iii. Preventive Replacement
Planning and implementation of preventive maintenance
system is a costly affair because during inspection all
deteriorated parts/components are replaced.
However the higher cost of maintenance is usually gets
compensated by the prolonged operational life of the
equipment.
Scheduled Maintenance
In thistype of maintenance work, the frequency of
maintenance predetermined from experience or from the
guidelines given by the equipment manufacturer.
The actual maintenance programme is scheduled in
consultation with the production department so that the
equipment is made available for maintenance work.
In this way , the most efficient use of idle time can be made.
Though scheduled maintenance is costly as compared to
breakdown maintenance, the availability of equipment is
enhanced.
13.
Scheduled Maintenance…
(cont.)
Advantages
1. Costeffective in many capital-intensive processes.
2. Flexibility allows for the adjustment of maintenance periodicity.
3. Increased component life cycle.
4. Reduced equipment or process failure
5. Prolonged life of equipment
Disadvantages
6. Catastrophic failures still likely to occur.
7. Labor intensive.
8. Includes performance of unneeded maintenance.
9. Potential for incidental damage to components in conducting
10.Unneeded maintenance.
14.
Condition-Based Maintenance
This kindof maintenance is carried out in response to a
significant deterioration in the unit or system as indicated
by a change in a monitored parameter of equipment or
system on its condition or performance.
It includes measurements that detect the onset of system
degradation (lower functional state), thereby allowing
stressors to be eliminated or controlled prior to any
significant deterioration in the component physical state.
It is also called Predictive Maintenance.
A condition-based maintenance policy is most suited to
high capital cost equipment and complex replaceable parts.
15.
Condition-Based Maintenance…
(cont.)
A goodknowledge of failure data is necessary for effective implementation of
condition-based maintenance.
It is also possible to minimize inventory and order parts, as required, well
ahead of time to support the downstream maintenance needs.
Advantages
1. Increased component operational life/availability.
2. Allows for preemptive corrective actions.
3. Decrease in equipment or process downtime.
4. Decrease in costs for parts and labor.
5. Better product quality.
6. Improved worker and environmental safety.
7. Improved worker morale.
Disadvantages
8. Increased investment in diagnostic equipment.
9. Increased investment in staff training.
16.
Reliability-Centered
Maintenance
RCM is aprocess used to determine the maintenance
requirements of any physical asset in its operating
context.
Basically, RCM methodology deals with some key issues
not dealt with by other maintenance programs.
It recognizes that all equipment in a facility is not of
equal importance to either the process or facility safety.
It recognizes that equipment design and operation
differs and that different equipment will have a higher
probability to undergo failures than others.
RCM is highly reliant on predictive maintenance but also
recognizes that maintenance activities on equipment
that is inexpensive and unimportant to facility reliability
may best be left to a reactive maintenance approach.

8. Can have significant startup cost, training, equipment, etc.
18.
Design-out Maintenance
If themaintenance cost or downtime cost of equipment is high, then the Design Out
Maintenance strategy can often be effective.
This strategy differs from all the others in that it is a one-off activity, as opposed to a
repetitive activity designed to prevent failure.
Design Out Maintenance aims to redesign those parts of the equipment which
consume high levels of maintenance effort or spares cost or which have
unacceptably high failure rates.
The high maintenance costs may have been caused by a number of factors,
including:
Poor maintenance.
operation of equipment outside of its original design specification
A poor initial design.
The Design Out Maintenance strategy can only be implemented effectively if high
maintenance cost items can be identified and the reasons for the high cost
understood.
