Abstract
Abstract One of the goals of good management is to operate with a predictive and preventive maintenance program that prevents unscheduled utility service interruptions and machine breakdowns. A reasonable cost of such a program contributes to the profitability of manufacturing plants and results in reduction of operating costs and increased productivity. This all can be accomplished by organizing, managing, and controlling maintenance. A good maintenance program should include designing, laying out, and constructing facilities with maintenance in mind; providing for reliable utilities and their uses; developing a maintenance organization and program while the facility is under construction; developing a simple, practical, predictive, and preventative maintenance program; supplementing an in‐house maintenance organization with contract maintenance; motivating the maintenance workers; organizing safety as an important function of any maintenance program; including environmental care and appreciation in any maintenance program; developing an energy conservation program as part of the maintenance program; creating a partnership with suppliers and equipment manufacturers; cooperating with other service groups of the facility; and controlling costs and assuring budget responsibility.
