| Maintenance Management MBA Notes
Would you please give here notes / solved assignment for Maintenance Management subject of MBA course for students of SMU ? As you want I am here giving you notes / solved assignment for Maintenance Management subject of MBA course for students of SMU. Maintenance Management subject notes / solved assignment : 1. Write short notes on: a) Need for maintenance management Answer:Maintenance can be defined as a combination of all technical and associated administrative actions intended to retain equipment in, or restore it to, a state in which it can perform its required function. Industrial maintenance is interpreted in the context of industrial systems (such as production facilities, buildings, equipment, and b) Maintenance resources Answer:Maintenance resourcesare Facilities, funding, personnel, spare parts, technical data, test equipment, tools, etc., available or provided for maintenance operations. Aspects of good planning, scheduling, and resource optimization of daily work are described in Chapter 24, Long Look-Ahead Plan. c) Decentralised maintenance Answer  ecentralisation means diffusion of authority. The dispersal of authority of decision-making to the lower level management is termed as decentralisation. Decentralisation of authority is a fundamental phase of delegation and the extent to which authority is not delegated is called centralisation. According to Fayol ”d) Reliability Centred Maintenance Answer:Reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) is a process to ensure that systems continue to do what their users require in their present operating context. It is generally used to achieve improvements in fields such as the establishment of safe minimum levels of maintenance. Successful implementation of RCM will lead to increase in 2. Optimizing Maintenance at XYZ Electricals XYZ Electricals is one of the leading manufacturers of electrical utilities. The organisation is well known for delivering quality products to consumers. It has adopted A preventive maintenance (PM) approach for the maintenance of its machines and equipment. However, in the last few months, the organisation has observed an increase in: Maintenance costs Facility downtime Frequent failures of components After thorough analysis, it has been found that the main cause behind all the problems is the excessive use of preventive maintenance. The organisation also realized that it must adopt a maintenance process that maintains a balance between the requirements and resources of maintenance. Therefore, XYZ decided to implement maintenance optimization procedures in the plant. Various optimization techniques were developed to convert traditional preventive maintenance into a cost – effective program. These techniques aimed at: Identifying assets that affect plant operations Identifying assets that may benefit most from preventive maintenance Selecting the most appropriate preventive tasks Combining appropriate traditional maintenance tasks with predictivemaintenance tasks Implementing appropriate training methods to apply optimization techniques After implementing maintenance optimisation techniques, the benefits that XYZ received after optimising its maintenance are: Reduction in maintenance costs by removing unnecessary corrective maintenance expenses Improvement in understanding of assets Application of cost – effective preventive maintenance techniques Better assessment of functioning of assets when they are in operation Here is the attachment.
