Maintenance Strategies

What does Preventive Maintenance mean in a manufacturing field?

• Using equipment without any maintenance
• Regular upkeep and inspection of equipment to prevent breakdowns and ensure optimal performance.
• Replacing equipment only after it fails
• Ignoring equipment until it breaks down

What does Reactive Maintenance mean in a manufacturing field?

• Fixing equipment after it has broken down
• Preventive maintenance before equipment breakdown
• Replacing equipment before it reaches the end of its life cycle
• Ignoring equipment issues until they become critical

What does Predictive Maintenance mean in a manufacturing field?

• Randomly fixing equipment without any data analysis

• Waiting for equipment to fail before performing maintenance

• Using data analysis, special equipment, and sensors to predict when equipment is likely to fail, so maintenance can be performed just in time.

• Relying solely on manual inspections without using any technology

What does Reliability Centered Maintenance mean in a manufacturing field?

• Maintenance strategy focusing on non-essential components
• Maintenance strategy focusing on critical components to ensure reliability and prioritize tasks.
• Randomly assigning maintenance tasks without prioritization
• Ignoring critical components in maintenance planning

What are examples of a Preventive maintenance procedure in a manufacturing setting?

• Regular equipment inspections, lubrication, calibration, cleaning
• Not training staff on proper equipment usage
• Ignoring regular maintenance schedules
• Replacing equipment only when it breaks down

What are examples of a Predictive maintenance procedure in a manufacturing setting?

• infrared analysis, hiring a psychic, electro imaging

• magnetic resonance imaging
• vibration analysis, thermal imaging, oil analysis, ultrasonic testing
• You cannot predict the future

What are examples of a Reactive maintenance procedure in a manufacturing facility?

• Replacing a faulty light bulb, adjusting sensors when production isn't running.

• Adjusting a loose screw, fixing a motor during scheduled downtime

• Refilling a depleted lubricant reservoir, hiring a thermographer to find problems.

• Replacing a failed motor, repairing a broken conveyor belt, fixing a malfunctioning sensor

What are examples of a Reliability centered maintenance procedure in a manufacturing setting?

• Replacing equipment without assessing its condition
• Ignoring equipment maintenance until failure occurs
• Implementing maintenance tasks randomly without a schedule
• Equipment inspections, predictive maintenance techniques like vibration analysis, oil analysis, thermography, and scheduled maintenance based on equipment condition.

What is the best type of maintenance strategy when you want to fix a machine on a scheduled basis?

• Corrective Maintenance
• Predictive Maintenance
• Breakdown Maintenance
• Preventive Maintenance

What is the best type of maintenance strategy when the machine breaks down unscheduled?

• Proactive Maintenance
• Predictive Maintenance
• Preventive Maintenance
• Reactive Maintenance
