Explain Overall Purpose of a Maintenance
Program
Purpose of a Maintenance Program
An organisation comprises a group of people who come together to serve the
needs of customers by offering them quality products. To produce high quality
products, the organisation needs different types of machines and equipment.
Thus, machines and equipment form an essential part of an organisations
functioning. If machines and equipment are not under good condition, it would
create hindrances in the production process. This, in turn, would affect the other
department of an organisation, such as sales, marketing, and customer
support, by making unnecessary delays in delivery. Therefore, to keep these
machines and equipment functional, maintenance is required.

3. Explain following Aspects to be Considered for

Machine Quality
Conformance to machine specifications
Frequency of machine failures
Answer: Conformance to machine specifications
Machine specifications are the detailed and precise description of what is
expected from a machine or equipment. These specifications include
the details of design, dimensions, operations, performance, material
used, description of installation along with the brand and model
number of a machine or equipment. Machine specifications should be
precise, accurate, and objectively stated. This is because any

inaccuracy in machine specifications may lead to ineffective maintenance

resulting into huge cost and various accidents. Properly

4. What do you mean by Condition Monitoring?

Elaborate various Steps Involved in Condition
Monitoring Program
Condition Monitoring
To sustain in todays highly competitive business environment, every
organisation has to produce goods as per customer requirements. For this, it
is important for organisations to ensure a smooth production process. To
keep the production process uninterrupted, organisations must check that
machines and equipment are available as and when required for production.
If machines are not available on time, organisations may have to face long
downtime due to abrupt failures, which may lead to increased
production costs and delays in product delivery. In order to keep the
machines available, it is essential to

a. Zero based budgeting

Zero based budgeting: It is a method of budgeting in which all expenditures
are justified each time a budget is prepared for a new period. Zero based
budgeting begins with a zero base. Each function within the organisation is
evaluated in terms of cost and requirements for the coming fiscal year. Budgets
are later prepared on the basis of the evaluation regardless of whether the
budget is higher or lower than the previous period. In simple terms, the zero
based budgeting approach does not depend on historical data and justifies all
expenditures on the basis of the requirement and availability of resources. Let
us understand this with the help of an example. Assume that the marketing
department of Company XYZ spent ` 80,00,000 on its operations the last year. For

Types of Preventive Maintenance

Preventive maintenance aims to retain machines and equipment under
good working conditions and avoid failures through early detection. It
differs across organisations depending on their plant size and other
requirements. However, preventive maintenance is broadly classified into
four types, which are shown in below figure:

Let us discuss different types of preventive maintenance in detail.

Time-based preventive maintenance: In this type of preventive
maintenance, maintenance work is performed at regular time intervals (for
example, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annually, etc.). Time-based
maintenance schedules are prepared on the basis of time
