The importance of preventive maintenance

Preventive maintenance is the companys action to maintain a routine inspection of its production equipment. It is maintenance that prevents the production line from unpleasant surprises, that maintains the solidity of the machinery and its reliability. Therefore, it avoids corrective maintenance, carried out on equipment that presents problems.

Preventive maintenance places prevention as a central point, allowing the entrepreneur to anticipate defects and failures. Furthermore, it ensures that the production line is not threatened or interrupted.

Preventive maintenance can and should be implemented in the most diverse branches of industry. There are no restrictions. But always respecting the technical capacity of professionals assigned to maintenance.

To support those who want to implement preventive maintenance as a routine, we bring you some tips. These guidelines will allow your company to start a process of improvement in processes.

Follow our tips and notice the difference:

In this initial phase, try to catalog all the machinery, by area of ​​activity, state of conservation, expected durability and time of use. Write down any information that you consider relevant and that can give an overview of the state of the equipment.

Put machine operation details on the tip of the pencil. Issues such as operating costs, state of repair, expected durability, cost-benefit ratio in relation to new machines, among others.

With the data of the machines in hand, as well as the information about the state of conservation of each item, we can think of the verification plan. That is, when the equipment will be checked, how often, which parts need to be changed and in what period, among others.

Talk to employees so that they engage in equipment conservation actions, which also express the brands care for its products. Having this care as a company culture, this approach will reflect on the image for the public.

Check, for each intervention, the responsible persons who will carry out the periodic maintenance, as well as inform the purchasing sector about the spare parts that need to be purchased periodically.

Putting the functions of each professional on paper facilitates agility and reduces the likelihood of errors.

To make the work more efficient, it is important that the relevant documents are available, in order to guarantee the integrity of the collaborators and the correct handling of the equipment. These are documents such as machine manuals, guides, service orders, past maintenance records, among others.

It is important to keep training up to date, so that maintenance inspections are carried out correctly.

In order for preventive maintenance to have the effects we are looking for, it is important that the team maintains an inspection routine for each piece of equipment. After all, the objective is not to wait for this machinery to deteriorate and threaten its production.
