How Do Preventive Maintenance Activities Improve Safety?

Nothing is more serious than the safety of your tenants or visitors. As far as we're concerned, safety should be the top reason you have an effective preventive maintenance plan for your facility. Doing those simple walkarounds, inspecting the fire prevention equipment and making sure exit lights are working are all part of a routine safety plan that each facility should strictly enforce. In the transportation industry, for example, fleet preventive maintenance software is vital for keeping drivers safe. Maintaining proper equipment through preventive maintenance scheduling of maintenance activities creates a safer workplace for your employees as they handle reliable machinery that is inspected and maintained periodically.

The benefits of preventive maintenance extend well beyond planning for future repairs. Using preventive maintenance services and software that combine real-time inventory management, work order assignments, asset tracking and preventive maintenance calendars minimizes unexpected issues and empowers your team to get the job done more efficiently—and safely.

 

How Does it Control Repair Costs?

On a business level, preventive maintenance services will help your bottom line in many ways. If you practice regularly scheduled maintenance, emergency repairs will play a reduced role in creating a shortfall in your budget planning. Imagine trying to get a contractor to come into your facility to fix a piece of equipment in the middle of the night or not having a contingency plan in place for equipment breakdowns. These short-notice occurrences due to poor asset management can multiply maintenance expenses. Plus, you might need to bring in extra help for your maintenance team to deal with the problem at hand, not accounting for potential overtime it may cost you to keep them at work longer and getting the job done. Not all emergencies can be avoided, but you can put the odds back in your favor by conducting regular preventive maintenance management and proper asset management in your maintenance operations.

How Does it Increase Utilization?

The most expensive cost of maintaining a facility, outside of labor, is equipment replacement. The key to a good preventive maintenance plan is to minimize the number of times you will need to replace equipment within the lifespan of the facility. An HVAC unit being replaced every 15 years, as opposed to every 10 years, will save your facility thousands of dollars in maintenance costs. Increasing the cycle of equipment replacement by planning ahead with maintenance management solutions, including preventive asset maintenance, is a return on investment that is sure to bring you savings.

How Does This Help With Equipment Failure?

Equipment failure can be disastrous to the workings of your facilities. Imagine a boiler failing to properly heat the necessary water in a large hotel or in a nursing home's laundry room. Backups are often put in place, but these are often temporary and less efficient. Delays, added costs and stress are all unnecessary burdens on facility maintenance management. Planning for repairs or replacements with preventive maintenance software and asset management will help prevent costly and potentially dangerous breakdowns.

What is Preventive Maintenance Software?

Preventive maintenance software helps organizations manage and schedule maintenance tasks to prevent equipment breakdowns, reduce downtime, and extend the life expectancy of assets.

What are the Major Types of Preventive Maintenance ?

The major types of Preventive Maintenance categories related to facilities are:
  1. HVAC System Maintenance:
    • Regular inspection and cleaning of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to ensure optimal performance and indoor air quality.
  2. Electrical System Inspections:
    • Periodic checks on electrical systems, including wiring, circuit breakers, and connections, to identify and address potential issues before they lead to failures or safety hazards.
  3. Plumbing System Checks:
    • Inspection of plumbing systems for leaks, clogs, and other issues. This may include checking pipes, valves, and water heaters to prevent water damage and maintain functionality.
  4. Roof Inspections and Repairs:
    • Routine inspections of the facility's roof to identify and repair any damage, preventing leaks and protecting the interior from water damage.
  5. Fire Safety System Testing:
    • Regular testing and maintenance of fire detection and suppression systems, including alarms, sprinklers, and fire extinguishers, to ensure readiness in case of emergencies.
  6. Elevator and Lift Maintenance:
    • Scheduled inspections and maintenance of elevators and lifts to ensure they operate safely and reliably, reducing the risk of breakdowns and improving passenger safety.
  7. Lighting System Checks:
    • Inspection and replacement of light bulbs, ballasts, and fixtures to maintain adequate lighting levels and improve energy efficiency.
  8. Security System Maintenance:
    • Testing and maintenance of security systems, including cameras, access control systems, and alarms, to enhance the safety and security of the facility.
  9. Grounds and Landscape Maintenance:
    • Regular maintenance of outdoor areas, including landscaping, parking lots, and sidewalks, to enhance the facility's curb appeal and prevent safety hazards.
  10. Generator and Emergency Power System Checks:
    • Periodic testing and maintenance of backup generators and emergency power systems to ensure they function reliably during power outages.
  11. Building Envelope Inspections:
    • Examination of the building envelope, including walls, windows, and doors, to identify and address issues such as leaks, drafts, or structural concerns.
  12. Equipment Lubrication and Calibration:
    • Lubrication of machinery and calibration of equipment to prevent wear and tear, maintain efficiency, and extend the lifespan of critical assets.

What are the 7 Elements of Preventive Maintenance?

  1. Asset Management: Allows users to track and manage assets, equipment, and machinery within an organization.
  2. Scheduling: Enables the creation and management of maintenance tasks as part of a routine.
  3. Work Order Management: Allows for the creation, assignment, and tracking of work orders including details on problem resolution
  4. History and Documentation: Maintains a historical record of maintenance activities, including dates of past maintenance, repairs, and any issues encountered.
  5. Inventory Management: Manages inventory levels of spare parts and materials needed for maintenance tasks including minimum re-order levels.
  6. Reporting and Analytics: Provides reporting dashboards to help improve maintenance performance, equipment availability, and other key metrics.
  7. Integration: Allows the integration with other systems such as financial software, wireless sensors, and monitoring devices to gather relevant data for maintenance planning.

How Do You Create a Preventive Maintenance Schedule?

Creating a preventive maintenance schedule involves identifying assets, assessing maintenance requirements, and defining specific tasks with appropriate frequencies.

Prioritizing tasks based on criticality and safety, the schedule is then created, considering operational constraints and assigning responsibilities to maintenance personnel.

Implementation includes setting up alerts and notifications, maintaining detailed records of activities, and periodically reviewing and adjusting the schedule for continuous improvement.

Leveraging preventive maintenance software enhances organization, automation, and the overall efficiency of asset management.
