Preventive Maintenance (PM) Planning is an essential factor to optimize cost and extend equipment life.\u00a0 Preventive maintenance can be better planned when it is separated into four disciplines:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Plant or Manufacturing Support<\/li>\n
  2. Exteriors, Interiors, Furniture, Security, Fire and Life Safety Systems<\/li>\n
  3. Electrical Switchboards, Floor panels, and Devices<\/li>\n
  4. Vendor Maintenance Services such as Elevators, Building Controls, Painting, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Using this approach, your maintenance team can focus on the important aspects of each critical area to avoid generalizing services, which will lead to lower costs and more consistent service.<\/p>\n

    As an example, Painting is a common issue in a number of facilities.\u00a0 Preventive maintenance engineers are usually not responsible for painting, but they may be asked to do touch-ups.\u00a0 However, excessive touch-ups can leave a leopard look in the facility, so painters should be called in to re-paint instead.<\/p>\n

    These types of issues are common, and can be predicted with some level of accuracy, so they should be included in the Preventive Maintenance Plan to avoid inconsistent service.\u00a0 To lower costs and increase service, tools such as Preventive Maintenance Software<\/a> are often used to keep track of all PM frequencies, work instructions, and PM Inspections.<\/p>\n

    Inspecting your facility regularly can also improve PM performance:<\/p>\n

    – Public and Executive Areas \u2013 usually inspected weekly
    \n– Building Exteriors \u2013 usually inspected annually
    \n– Garages and Back Hallways \u2013 usually inspected semi-annually
    \n– Occupied Areas of the Building \u2013 usually inspected quarterly<\/p>\n
