Preventative Maintenance Systems

Preventative Maintenance and Maintenance Requisition Systems

Preventative maintenance (PM) is the process of inspecting and maintaining equipment on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns. A maintenance requisition system is a way to request maintenance work to be performed.

Benefits of Preventive Maintenance Programs and Maintenance Requisition Systems.

There are a number of benefits to having P.M. and maintenance requisition systems in place. These benefits include:

  • Reduced downtime: P.M. can help to reduce downtime by preventing breakdowns by practising a “proactive” approach as opposed to having to be “reactive”.

  • Improved productivity: P.M. can help to improve productivity by ensuring that equipment is available when it is needed.

  • Increased safety: P.M. can help to increase safety by preventing accidents caused by equipment failure.

  • Cost savings: P.M. can help to save businesses money by preventing breakdowns and by reducing the need for emergency repairs and expensive callout fees.

  • Compliance with regulations: P.M. and maintenance requisition systems can help businesses comply with various regulations, such as HACCP.

Implementation of PM and Maintenance Requisition Systems

The implementation of P.M. and maintenance requisition systems can be a complex process. However, it is important to take the time to do it right. Here are some tips for implementing P.M. and maintenance requisition systems:

  • Start by assessing your needs: What type of equipment do you have? How often do you need to perform maintenance? What are your budget constraints?

  • Develop a plan: Once you have assessed your needs, you can develop a plan for implementing P.M. and maintenance requisition systems. This plan should include the following:

    • The scope of the project

    • The timeline for implementation

    • The budget

    • The resources you will need

    • The parts required and the lead time required if having to order new parts.

  • Implement the plan: Once you have developed a plan, you can begin implementing P.M. and maintenance requisition systems. This may involve training employees, purchasing new equipment, and stationary, or developing new procedures.

  • Monitor and evaluate: Once you have implemented P.M. and maintenance requisition systems, you need to monitor and evaluate their effectiveness. This will help you to identify any areas where the systems need to be improved.
