Maintenance management process

To foUow these principles in practice, the maintenance should be included in a hohstic maintenance management process where results and experience continuously are being used to improve routines and working processes. The process is illustrated in Fig. 1. AH the difierent parts of the model are not described in detaU, as we in this paper focus on the two parts indicated by 1 and 11 in Fig. 1. 

An important characteristic of the proposed new MMM is its relationship with the ISO standard 9001 2008. This standard is chosen since it is the international reference for any quahty management system, which turns into a generic guide for a process operation in which fulfillment with requirements should be demonstrated, such as the case of the maintenance function. In the same way, PAS 55 offers valuable information about the maintenance management process. The general operation of the new MMM is presented in Fig. 1. 

Good maintenance management processes and practices are central to ensuring that aging safety-critical I C systems and equipment continue to operate reliably and... 

Improving maintenance helps reduce equipment failure. In addition, managing process changes can help avoid process upsets and thus reduce downtime. 

Teams such as quality improvement teams (QIT), may be used for implementation of all Quality Management projects. These teams are usually established for specific improvement projects and consist of staff involved in the management processes under review. For this project, PSM and ESH specialists, operations, maintenance, and engineering representatives would be members of the team. 

The change management process should also ensure that a root cause analysis has been conducted to make sure the real problem has been identified and corrected. For example, if a pump seal fails it could simply be replaced with an identical seal. However, it may have failed because it was left in service beyond its natural life and the real failure was in the preventative maintenance program that should have replaced it earlier. 

This element covers preventive maintenance, management of change (process change control) and verification practices, and frequencies for quality... 

The overall benefits of predictive maintenance management have proven to substantially improve the overall operation of both manufacturing and process plants. In all surveyed cases, the benefits derived from using condition-based management have offset the capital equipment cost required to implement the program within the first three months. Use of microprocessor-based predictive maintenance techniques has further reduced the annual operating... 

Effective planning is the next step in the outage management process. Like all other maintenance activities, each task included in the outage plan must be fully planned. However, the finite time frame associated with a fixed-duration shutdown also requires effective scheduling to assure success. 

Boiler operational management processes provide for various daily procedures, maintenance routines and checks, including attending to BD, ash removal (where solid fuels are used), and the monitoring and control of fuel and MU water consumption, steam production, operating pressures, air and flue-gas temperatures, and FW and CR flows. 

The precursor was identified in the maintenance sub-process. In practice, the operators from technical support observed the presence of substances inside the packaging machines. Subsequently, they consulted the chief operator on how to remove the substances from the machines and perform the most suitable intervention. These actions correspond with the control elements on the operational control level. The actions were performed in order to resume production quickly, and adhere to planned schedules. Additionally, experience and training provided the operators with guidelines on how to perform the maintenance effectively. In practice the production manager, responsible for any preventive solutions was not aware of the existence of this precursor and consequently had no overview of these deviations even though the company s quality and safety standards required an overview of all deviations and...

Facility managers use a variety of metrics to monitor operating, maintenance, and process safety performance at their site. These metrics often include a consolidated or aggregated view of metrics as well as some selected detailed data of interest. These reports can indicate the process safety system performance across the site and provide a performance comparison for individual operating units. This allows the site manager to compare performance among the site operating units and use this information to focus performance improvement efforts. Metrics reports often include but are not limited to items such as ... 

I. Technology What role will technology play An example is interfacing process control computers to a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) for integrated condition monitoring, which will lead to a sound predictive maintenance program. 

IS refers to the software packages and databases that provide the functionality to implement the business processes. These include such packages as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), Electronic Document Management Systems (EDMS) and Maintenance Management Systems.
