Module 1: Classifying Plant Maintenance from a

Business perspective + M1-A,B, C, D
From a business perspective, Plant Maintenance (PM) can be classified as follows:

1. Preventive Maintenance: This category includes activities aimed at preventing equipment

breakdowns and minimizing downtime. It involves regular inspections, servicing, and
replacement of parts to ensure optimal performance and reliability of assets.

2. Corrective Maintenance: This type of maintenance is performed in response to equipment

failures or malfunctions. It involves troubleshooting, repairs, and restoring the equipment to
its normal operating condition.

3. Predictive Maintenance: Predictive maintenance utilizes data analysis and condition

monitoring techniques to identify potential equipment failures before they occur. It involves
analyzing equipment data, such as vibration patterns or temperature variations, to predict
maintenance needs and schedule proactive repairs or replacements.

4. Shutdown Maintenance: This type of maintenance is performed during planned shutdown

periods of equipment or facilities. It involves comprehensive inspections, repairs, and
maintenance tasks that cannot be performed during regular operations.

5. Breakdown Maintenance: Breakdown maintenance refers to unplanned repairs that are

necessary when equipment fails unexpectedly. It involves immediate actions to fix the issue
and restore the equipment to its normal functioning state.

6. Overhaul Maintenance: Overhaul maintenance involves extensive inspections, repairs, and

replacements of major components or systems of equipment. It is typically performed at
predefined intervals to ensure the longevity and reliability of the assets.

7. Calibration and Testing: This category includes activities related to calibrating and testing
equipment to ensure accurate measurements and optimal performance. It involves verifying
and adjusting instruments and tools to meet specified standards.

8. Safety and Compliance Maintenance: This type of maintenance focuses on ensuring

compliance with safety regulations and industry standards. It involves inspections, audits, and
maintenance tasks aimed at maintaining a safe working environment and meeting legal
requirements.

9. Environmental Maintenance: Environmental maintenance activities are performed to ensure

compliance with environmental regulations and minimize the impact of operations on the
environment. It includes tasks such as waste management, pollution control, and
environmental monitoring.
 10. Asset Management: Asset management encompasses activities related to the overall
management of physical assets throughout their lifecycle. It includes tasks such as asset
tracking, maintenance planning, budgeting, and performance analysis to optimize asset
utilization and maximize return on investment.

These classifications provide a framework for understanding the different types of maintenance
activities that businesses undertake to ensure the reliability, availability, and performance of their
plant and equipment.

M1 E: Benchmarking in Plant Maintenance

Benchmarking in Plant Maintenance involves comparing key performance indicators (KPIs) and
performance metrics of maintenance processes and activities with industry standards or best
practices. It helps organizations identify areas for improvement, set performance targets, and
measure their maintenance performance against industry peers. Here are some key performance
indicators commonly used for benchmarking in Plant Maintenance:

1. Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE): OEE is a measure of equipment performance that

considers availability, performance efficiency, and quality. It provides insights into the overall
effectiveness of maintenance activities and helps identify areas of improvement.

2. Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF): MTBF measures the average time between equipment
failures. It indicates the reliability of assets and can be used to compare maintenance
performance with industry benchmarks.

3. Mean Time to Repair (MTTR): MTTR measures the average time taken to repair equipment
after a failure occurs. It reflects the efficiency and effectiveness of maintenance response and
can be benchmarked against industry standards.

4. Planned Maintenance Percentage (PMP): PMP measures the percentage of maintenance

activities that are planned and scheduled. A higher PMP indicates better maintenance
planning and can be compared with industry benchmarks.

5. Reactive Maintenance Percentage: Reactive maintenance refers to unplanned or emergency

repairs. Monitoring the percentage of reactive maintenance can help identify opportunities
for preventive or predictive maintenance strategies.

6. Maintenance Cost as a Percentage of Asset Value: This metric compares the cost of
maintenance activities to the total value of assets. It helps assess the efficiency of
maintenance spending and can be benchmarked against industry averages.

7. Maintenance Backlog: The maintenance backlog represents the total number of pending
maintenance tasks or work orders. Monitoring the backlog helps evaluate the effectiveness of
maintenance planning and resource allocation.

8. Work Order Completion Rate: This metric measures the percentage of work orders
completed within the defined timeframe. It reflects the efficiency of maintenance execution
and can be compared to industry benchmarks.
 9. Mean Time to Failure (MTTF): MTTF measures the average time between failures for a specific
component or system. It helps assess the reliability of individual assets or equipment types
and can be benchmarked against industry standards.

10. Asset Utilization: Asset utilization measures the percentage of time that equipment is actively
used for production or operational purposes. It helps evaluate the effectiveness of
maintenance in maximizing asset availability.

Benchmarking these key performance indicators allows organizations to identify areas of

improvement, set performance targets, and compare their maintenance performance with industry
peers or best practices. It helps drive continuous improvement in Plant Maintenance processes and
activities.
