4 Types of Maintenance Programs

Maintenance is the backbone in any facility.

What is maintenance and why is it performed?
Ideally, maintenance is performed to keep equipment and systems running efficiently for at least the design life of the component(s).

What is the design life of electrical equipment such as breakers and transformers, once they are installed, energized, and under load? Electrical Equipment automatically start a normal deterioration process. What is this normal process? Can it be expedited with other environmental conditions, lack of maintenance, improper maintenance, and a run to failure culture? Absolutely. The design life of all electrical equipment requires maintenance. How much? How often? That’s the easy part.

We all take preventive health measures, to some degree, especially when we reach certain ages in our life, to help warn us and to ensure our sustainability, and longevity. In the same way, your electrical distribution system should have a wellness check up.

Is it time for your wellness checkup?

Reactive Maintenance (RM) Breakdown Based

Maintenance Cost Breakdown Ave. 40,000 Sq.’ $18.00/HP/YR
Reactive maintenance is basically the “run it till it fails”

Preventive Maintenance (PM) Time Based

Maintenance Cost Breakdown Ave. 40,000 Sq.’ $13.00/HP/YR
Preventive maintenance is basically actions performed on a time basis

Predictive Maintenance (PdM) Conditioned Based

Maintenance Cost Breakdown Ave. 40,000 Sq.’ $9.00/HP/YR
Predictive maintenance is basically measurements that detect early signs of potential equipment failure before they cause a breakdown, allowing for timely maintenance interventions and minimizing downtime

Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) Prevention Based

Maintenance Cost Breakdown Ave. 40,000 Sq.’ $6.00/HP/YR
Reliability centered maintenance is basically a process used to identify the most critical components of a system and develop a targeted maintenance strategy to ensure their optimal reliability and uptime. Essentially, it aims to perform the right maintenance at the right time on the right equipment to maximize its lifespan and minimize costs.
