Plant, Equipment, Machinery and Building deteriorate due to their use and
exposure to environment conditions. If this process is allowed to be continued
unchecked, these facilities become unserviceable and bring them to standstill.
Industry has therefore, no choice but to attend to them from time to time, to repair
and recondition them to be able to increase their life to extent it is economically
and physically possible to do so. It is in this context that maintenance assumes at
most importance as an engineering plant and equipment is available for
productive use, for the scheduled hours, operating at agreed standard with
minimum waste.
Maintenance plays a crucial role in the Engineering and process Industry. A plant
may be regarded as successful when it operates without interruptions, which can
however be achieved only when its facilities are in perfect working order at all
times. The strategic importance of maintenance increases with increasing
sophistication.
The costs incurred to bring an asset back to an earlier condition or to keep the
asset operating at its present condition, However this concept has been in
Existence in Aviation sector but the time and need has come for all segments of
the industry
In a typical Industrial Scenario in the past has been
- 55% on Reactive Maintenance
- 31% Preventive Maintenance
- 12% Predictive maintenance
- 2% on others
Today, the focus of maintenance approaches within industry clearly has shifted
from "reactive" to "proactive."
"Condition Monitoring" (CM) represents one of the more practical approaches for
operations seeking to reap the rewards of proactive maintenance. CM is a
strategy whereby physical parameters are measured regularly to determine
equipment condition. This procedure makes it possible to detect machine and
component problems before they can result in unexpected downtime and the
high costs associated with interruption in production.
For example an early measurements could help you to identify a process pump
problems much earlier in the failure cycle . when may be all you have to do is to
replace a damaged bearing. This 'early warning' allow you to plan and schedule
the repairs when it is convenient for operations.
Today a number of organizations have a special CM wing looking after this.
But we believe that every engineer should have the ability to recognize the
abnormal behavior of his machines. A genuine understanding by maintenance
and operations of the role of condition monitoring, its limitations and its
capabilities therefore becomes a necessity.
Technology plays a vital role in the industrial Maintenance sector like
Strategic Maintenance Management (SMM) forms an integral part of the
management process in deregulated market. High value equipment-intensive
utility industries that successfully adopt SMM practice can reduce maintenance
costs and improve productivity through superior planning and may become more
responsive to market demands through improved flexibility and agility. To
achieve in the SMM field, expertise is needed in three main areas of
maintenance planning: short term, outage and long term planning. Planned
maintenance (PM) strategies improve mean time between failures (MTBF),
reliability, overall productivity, equipments life and ultimately reduce the total cost
of equipment ownership.Effective maintenance management forms an important approach in reducing
total manufacturing costs and improves productivity of the production process.
Failure to manage maintenance can lead to high penalty cost due to down time
and Client SLA's.
Hence, there is a need to hold an Exhibition to
attract the Indian Engineering and Manufacturing sector.
