Preventive Maintenance [5 Tips and Tricks]<\/span><\/h1>\n

In our previous post<\/a>, we explained what preventive maintenance is. For companies, it’s a crucial factor to consider, especially for those that operate with production lines. It’s a key strategy to keep equipment and machinery in good condition and reduce the risk of critical failures and unplanned downtime. To perform effective preventive maintenance, we must know that there are different types of preventive maintenance and that the actions required will be different for each of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tips and Tricks<\/span><\/h2>\n

#1 Identify critical equipment and machinery: <\/span><\/h3>\n

Identify the most important equipment and machinery for the business and determine the recommended preventive maintenance intervals provided by the manufacturer. Many manufacturers indicate in the manual the wear time of the parts and the recommended maintenance intervals.<\/span><\/p>\n

#2 Establish a maintenance schedule: <\/span><\/h3>\n

Once the critical assets of your company are identified, it’s crucial to establish a preventive maintenance schedule<\/a> with specific dates for scheduled maintenance tasks. Make sure the schedule is shared with all personnel involved in maintenance. Not only maintenance personnel act, but sometimes external companies and other departments such as human resources or administration will also be involved.<\/span><\/p>\n

If maintenance is different from production, we should give advance notice. This way, the production department can calculate the necessary stoppage and reschedule production.<\/span><\/p>\n

ABOVE ALL! The schedule must be realistic and feasible to implement.<\/span><\/p>\n

#3 Train technicians: <\/span><\/h3>\n

Training in the company is essential in all areas and departments. However, it’s of particular importance to have a maintenance team trained and capable of repairing any type of machine or asset owned by the company.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this case, establishing protocols and flow charts of action will make it much easier and more effective to perform proper predictive maintenance.<\/span><\/p>\n

#4 Use advanced monitoring technology: <\/span><\/h3>\n

Field service manager software is specialized in correctly tracking preventive controls. In addition, many of them can connect sensors that allow early problem detection, such as vibration sensors, oil analysis, thermography, and any type of sensor.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s also important to document the entire maintenance process. From collecting previous data to the repair checklist.<\/span><\/p>\n

With detailed and accurate information, we will be able to anticipate possible unplanned downtime.<\/span><\/p>\n

#5 Track maintenance results: <\/span><\/h3>\n

Track preventive maintenance results to determine if maintenance intervals are appropriate and if maintenance tasks are being performed effectively. Use the data to adjust the maintenance schedule and improve the process in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

Conclusions for good preventive maintenance: <\/span><\/h3>\n

By following these practical tips, you can perform effective preventive maintenance that will help you keep your equipment and machinery in good condition and reduce unplanned downtime. Remember that the key is proper planning, training, and documentation.<\/span><\/p>\n
