The system is based on a series of maintenance checks and servicing points. To be effective, a preventive maintenance program demands strict adherence to a planned schedule.  \nBenefits of Preventive Maintenance  \nTime spent making required periodic checks is a real investment in working equipment and efficient use of man hours. Valuable benefits can be realized, all of which mean savings in time and resources.  \nPreventive Maintenance:  \n• Promotes Safety-properly maintained equipment is better able to operate within its design specifications and react positively to the operator’s control.  \n• Improves Equipment Availability-by minimizing the chances of breakdown.  \n• Reduces Unexpected Downtime-unexpected downtime is expensive and detracts from normal scheduled maintenance.  \n• Allows Planning of Daily Production- by knowing the condition of available equipment.  \n• Allows Planning of Maintenance Man Hoursby distribution of duties and necessary lead time for parts ordering.  \n• Provides Complete History of Equipmentbased on performance, frequency and type of repairs and actual man hours expended on maintenance.  \nEstablishing a Preventive Maintenance Program  \nThe key to an effective preventive maintenance program is diligence in following a maintenance schedule set at regular planned intervals. Such intervals should be made compatible with the nature of operation of the equipment and with the capabilities of the maintenance facility. The intervals and inspection requirements must be planned, regular and consistent.  \nSpecific maintenance should be completed using the following intervals:  \n• 10 Hours (each shift or daily)  \n• First 50 Hours  \n• First 100 Hours  \n• 50 Hours (weekly)  \n• 100 Hours (bi-weekly)  \n• 250 Hours (monthly)  \n• 500 Hours (quarterly)  \n• 1000 Hours (semiannually)  \n• 2000 Hours or 1 Year  \n• 2500 Hours  \n• 3000 Hours or 3 Years  \n• 4000 Hours  \n• 5000 Hours  \n• 6000 Hours or 3 Years  \n• 10,000 Hours  \n• 12,000 Hours or 6 Years  \nEach successive schedule (e.g. weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc.) builds on the former and is accumulative in nature. For example, when performing weekly maintenance, the mechanic will first take note of the shift maintenance, and in addition will perform the checks specified in the weekly schedule.  \nMaintenance Record Keeping  \nThe importance of good record keeping cannot be overemphasized. Each scheduled maintenance form should be checked off as the inspections and service is performed. Quantities of replenished lubricants should be recorded, as well as hydraulic pressure readings. All discrepancies should be recorded whether remedied or pending. Operators and mechanics should sign off forms and return them to the maintenance supervisor for approval and retention in an equipment unit life.  \nAccurately recorded maintenance forms will give the maintenance personnel an overall view of how particular equipment is holding up under specific operating conditions. Good records and the ease by which they can be reviewed also enable maintenance personnel to identify and evaluate problem areas and allow adjustment in the maintenance scheduling for their particular operation.  \nShift Maintenance  \nShift Maintenance is where preventive maintenance begins. The operator normally completes this inspection. It consists of the routine servicing and lubrication of the machine’s major systems. On a daily basis, the operator is in a position to identify, remedy and/or record potential problem areas and is able to quickly recognize any change in the performance of the machine. The comments he or she records on the shift maintenance report become a valuable ","cbCaimTVjefKOqdA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimTVjefKOqdA","pdf",8461627,"English","# Preventive / Scheduled Maintenance\n## Preventive Maintenance\n## Benefits of Preventive Maintenance\n## Establishing a Preventive Maintenance Program\n## Maintenance Record Keeping\n## Shift Maintenance\n## Shift Maintenance Checklist\n## Scheduled Maintenance\n## Scheduled Maintenance Checklists\n## Using the Checklist","[{\"question\":\"What is preventive maintenance and why is it used?\",\"answer\":\"Preventive maintenance is designed to detect problem areas and prevent equipment failure while maximizing machine availability.
