Maintenance is an excellent means of improving the performance and condition of equipment and facilities.  An effective maintenance program
identified problems long before any equipment or facility breaks down or
 deteriorate.  A good maintenance system presents the early discovery of
problems,  thus  providing  plenty  of  lead  time  for  effective maintenance planning.    The  trainer  has  to  value  the  importance  of  maintaining  the training facilities, equipment and tools he is using or under his care if he values the presence and availability of these resources for effective trainin and learning processes.

               The Growth of Interest in Maintenance

The  factors  contributing  to  the  rapidly  growing  interest  in maintenance are:

1.    Technological development
       This  trend  leads  to  a  more mechanized  and  automated
        equipment, resulting in great productive potential which must be
        kept working.  This means that training facilities are becoming
        more complicated and required more advanced maintenance.

 2.    Increasingly expensive raw materials
        Finite  raw  materials,  in  combination  with  a  growing population           and increasing assumption, inevitably result in higher raw material               prices.  Unavoidably, the costs of all by-products must rise.  It is                    therefore often more profitable to maintain existing equipment than            purchase new ones.

  3.    Greater complication
          A complicated facility of piece of equipment includes many
         components, any or all of which can constitute possible sources of
         trouble.    Although the  operational  reliability  of  each  individual
         component may be very high, it is necessary to multiply reliability
        factor of all components that are dependent on each other in a system         in order to arrive at the total system reliability.

4.    Increased fixed costs   

       Capital costs constitute a considerable part of the total costs
       of training  and must be covered by the added value created.  If
      training stops as a result of inadequate maintenance, capital costs
     (depreciation) must still be paid, so that the standstill results in a
      net loss.  Still, the salaries and overhead expenses must be paid
      while training is stopped.

5.    Reduce delayed activities and eradicate uncompleted work

      Many  work  processes  depend  on  an  uninterrupted  flow  of
      activities to produce desired result.  If an activity is delayed, the
      entire work stops.  If all the facilities and equipment are reliable
      working well, work delay can be reduced.

6.    Environmental concern
       

      The growing quantity of       electronic wastes    (monitors, laptops,
      cellular phones, other electronic gadgets and its substances), the
      increasing use of chemicals such as cleaning agents, paints, fuel
      and its derivatives, the by-products created from its use, and its
      disposal, pose danger to the environment and all living things.
      Mass  awareness  on  waste  management  brings  the  relevance of
      conserving the natural resources and the products (machines, tools)
      thru proper maintenance to lengthen its useful life.

 

Training Equipment and Supplies

                     Training equipment is usually placed in the practical work area or the trainee resource area. The sizes and uses of equipment vary in the different training qualifications and generally classified into five (5):
                     1.    Large items  of  equipment – motor  vehicles,  industrial                              sewing machines
                     2.    Small items of equipment – video/tape recorder, espresso                               machine
                     3.    Simple equipment – electric fan, floor polisher
                     4.    Complex     equipment       –  plasma  cutting
                           machine, simulator (automotive)
                     5.    Equipment with  significant  health  and
                           safety implications – duplicator machine

Why Maintain?


               General Objective:
                     •     To keep the optimum condition of physical facilities at acceptable levels  and  minimum  cost  to  satisfy  the  expected  of  programs, services and activities at acceptable and minimum costs

               Specific Objectives:
                     •     To  extend the useful life  of physical
                           facilities
                     •     To assure the   operational readiness     of
                           installed equipment and maximum
                           possible return on investments
                     •     To properly   discard hazardous wastes
                     •     To ensure the    safety  of personnel using
                           the facilities, physical properties and the environment

               What can we gain from maintaining our facilities ?

                     •     Ensured SAFE environment

                     •     Improved MORALE of human resources

                     •     Reduced operational COST

                     •     Increased PRODUCTION

                     •    Prolonged LIFE of facilities

                     •     Prompt DELIVERY of services/product

                     •     WASTE/Garbage reduction

Who are involved?
                     •     Who will manage the activities?
                     •     Who will monitor and evaluate the operations?
                     •     Who will prepare the maintenance schedule?
                     •     Who will implement the program?
                     •     Who will keep the records?
                     •     Who will conduct inspection?
                     •     Who will certify and accept the work?
                     •     Who will prepare the report?

What, Where, When?
                     •     What routine actions must be done to keep the device on                             working order?
                     •     Where is the maintenance activity to be carried out?
                     •     When do you perform the maintenance activities?

How to maintain?
                     The  question  on  how  do  we
               implement  the  maintenance  program
               will center on the   5Ms   as follows:
                     •     Manpower
                     •     Money (Financial Resources)
                     •     Methods and System
                     •     Machines (Facilities)
                     •     Materials and Supplies

 

 A   maintenance  program is  a comprehensive list of maintenance and its incidents. This would include all maintenance activities to be undertaken, manpower needed, maintenance methods to be used, all the materials and supplies needed and cost involved in the maintenance     .

                     A  maintenance schedule is a list allocating specific maintenance of an area, including equipment and tools to a specific period.

The maintenance schedule  is  just  a  part  of  the  maintenance  program. A maintenance checklist    is a list of maintenance tasks (preventive or predictive) typically derived through some form of analysis, generated automatically as work orders at a predetermined frequency.

To  perform  the  maintenance  of  specific  equipment,  a  maintenance
 schedule is drawn. Again, the best source of the list of the maintenance
activitie of equipment is its manufacturers/user’s manual. In the absence
 of it, the plan can be derived from the known maintenance methods of the
equipment and in accordance with the organization’s policy and procedures.
