Q1. Explain the concept of maintenance objectives and describe the primary maintenance objectives.

Answer. Maintenance is an important factor in quality assurance, which is another basis for the successful competitive edge. Inconsistencies in equipments lead to variability in product characteristics and result in defective parts that fail to meet the established specifications. Beyond just preventing break downs, it is necessary to keep equipments operating within specifications (i.e. process capability) that will produce high level of quality.

Q2. Suppose you are appointed as a maintenance manager in a manufacturing organization. What functions you need to perform for organizing maintenance activities?

Q3. What are the complex maintenance activities performed by expert systems?

Q4. Explain the process of maintenance benchmarking.

Answer. Companies use benchmarking as a way to compare key metrics to other businesses in the industry. This allows companies to see how well they are performing and identify ways they can become more competitive in the industry. Benchmarking is the practice of a business comparing key metrics of their operations to other similar companies.

Q5. Suppose you are the head of the maintenance department of your organization which preventive maintenance tasks would you perform.

Answer. Here is the five step preventative maintenance program West Bend uses to ensure everything is working at an optimal level. These same steps can easily be adapted to fit the needs of any sized home or business.

1. Identify Equipment Requiring Preventative Maintenance

The first step in an effective preventative maintenance program is identifying the equipment being used by your facility. Every organization is going to rely on different mechanical systems, which means a one-size-fits-all approach isn’t going to work.

Q6. Answer the following questions:

1. List the objectives of maintenance audit.

2. State the functions of a maintenance auditor in an organisation.

3. Explain the two types of issues which are to be resolved in action after audit.

Answer. 1. Objectives are:

1. To leverage your labor resource (get more work accomplished with fewer people).

2. To establish an approach that over the long term will reduce reactive maintenance.

3. To minimize the chaos and efficiency losses resulting from disconnects with the production schedule, priority changes, emergency work, and unanticipated part outages.
