Note: Answer all questions. Kindly note that answers for 10 marks questions should be approximately of 400 words. Each question is followed by evaluation scheme.



Question.1. Write short notes on the following:

a. Proactive Maintenance

Answer:Proactive maintenance is a preventive maintenance strategy for stabilizing the reliability of machines or equipment. It has two parts:

·         Preventive maintenance
·         Predictive maintenance

A proactive maintenance plan gives a company the ability to prolong the life of machinery and prevent a complete and unexpected breakdown of production facility. A proactive maintenance plan allows an organization to schedule



b. Planned Maintenance Work Cycle

Answer:Planned preventive maintenance (PPM), more commonly referred to as simply planned maintenance (PM) or scheduled maintenance, is any variety of scheduled maintenance to an object or item of equipment. Specifically, planned maintenance is a scheduled service visit carried out by a competent and suitable agent, to ensure that



c. Maintenance organising schedule

Answer:It is important to understand the difference between planning and scheduling. These two elements of maintenance management are essential and are very often mixed up. Most organizations, where scheduled shutdowns of the manufacturing process are common, plan and schedule work quite good because there is a consequence if they do not.

Planning and scheduling of weekly/daily On-



d. Areas of Maintenance Practices

Answer:The maintenance organization of today, like many departments, is under continued pressure to cut costs, show results, and support the mission of the organization. After all, it is a logical expectation from the business standpoint.

The evolving maintenance operation has been charged with supporting the broader efforts of World Class Manufacturing such as Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing and major quality initiatives. The ability to be successful in that charter lies




Question.2. Explain different types of maintenance tasks.

Answer:Maintenance organizational efficiency depends upon many interdependent variables. Some of these include: organizational structure, goals and objectives, communications processes, policies and procedures, work processes (methodologies) and employee systems. Maintenance organizations function at three major levels: organizational level (functional and structural relationships), process level (work activities) and job performer level (individual worker.

The ineffectiveness of one level could negatively impact another level. For example, poorly defined work activities, such as the lack




Question.3. Explain following Aspects to be Considered for Machine Quality
Conformance to machine specifications
Frequency of machine failures

Answer:Eight dimension of product quality management can be used at a strategic level to analyze quality characteristics. The concept was defined by David Garvin. Some of the dimensions are mutually reinforcing, whereas others




Question.4. What do you mean by Condition Monitoring? Elaborate various Steps Involved in Condition Monitoring Program

Answer:Condition monitoring (or, colloquially, CM) is the process of monitoring a parameter of condition in machinery (vibration, temperature etc.), in order to identify a significant change which is indicative of a developing fault. It is a major component of predictive maintenance. The use of condition monitoring allows maintenance



Question.5. Write short notes on the following-

a. Zero based budgeting

Answer:Zero-based budgeting (ZBB) is a method of budgeting in which all expenses must be justified for each new period. Zero-based budgeting starts from a "zero base," and every function within an organization is analyzed for its needs and costs. Budgets are then built around what is needed for the upcoming period, regardless of whether the budget is higher or lower than the previous one.

Zero-based budgeting allows top-level strategic goals to be implemented into the budgeting process by tying them to specific functional areas of the




b. Remote maintenance audit

Answer:To protect the integrity of the Postal computing environment, use of remote administration and maintenance software and associated security controls must be approved by the manager, CISO ISS, in cooperation with the requesting organization.Remote management and maintenance must be controlled and activity logs maintained. The




c. Codification of spare parts

Answer:It is a cumbersome and time consuming task during every transaction to identify a spare part by its description and manufacturer's part number accompanied by the parent equipment's name, make and model designation. Therefore, it is essential to give a numerical name or code to each spare part. This process of giving code to each spare part is called codification. Since, the range of spares used in any organisation is




d. Maintenance Benchmarking

Answer:Benchmarking has become a common practice in all kinds of businesses, but nowhere is it more prevalent than in manufacturing. The idea of measuring yourself against the best is an attractive one -- one that the gurus say can lead to breakthroughs in how you run your business. But like many other great ideas, benchmarking can lead to frustration and disappointment if it isn't approached with proper understanding.

For example, Edwin K. Jones, a plant engineering






Question.6. Describe various types of preventive maintenance.

Answer:The primary goal of maintenance is to avoid or mitigate the consequences of failure of equipment. This may be by preventing the failure before it actually occurs which Planned Maintenance and Condition Based Maintenance help to achieve. It is designed to preserve and restore equipment reliability by replacing worn components before they actually fail. Preventive maintenance activities include partial or complete overhauls at specified periods, oil changes, lubrication, minor adjustments, and
