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. Explain Overall Purpose of a Maintenance Program

Answer: Maintenance planning refers to the scheduled repair of buildings and equipment. While this is important practice for large manufacturers and corporations, regularly scheduled maintenance is equally important for small businesses. Items that require regular maintenance include computer hardware and software, as well as company vehicles and any regularly used mechanical tools and equipment.

Question. 2. Explain different types of maintenance tasks.

Answer: Traditionally, 5 types of maintenance have been distinguished, which are differentiated by the nature of the tasks that they include:

Corrective maintenance: The set of tasks is destined to correct the defects to be found in the different equipment and that are communicated to the

Question. 3. Explain following Aspects to be Considered for Machine Quality

 Conformance to machine specifications

 Frequency of machine failures

Answer: Eight dimensions 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 are not—improvement in one may be at the expense of others. Understanding the trade-offs desired by customers among these dimensions can help build a competitive advantage. Garvin's eight dimensions can be summarized as follows:

·       Performance: Performance refers to a product's

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 to be scheduled, or other

Question. 5. Write short notes on the following-

a. Zero based budgeting

Answer: Zero-based budgeting in the 1970s was primarily concerned with attributing a particular activity of a company to the decision packages, which involves ranking and evaluating the packages for the benefits and costs, and making sure the resources are distributed appropriately. ZBB is a process that can be repeated numerously to review every single dollar in the budget annually, establish a cost management culture, and also

b. Remote maintenance audit

Answer: Remote maintenance and diagnostic activities are conducted by individuals communicating through an external, non-organization-controlled network (e.g., the Internet). The use of remote maintenance and diagnostic tools is consistent with organizational policy and documented in the security plan for the information system. The organization maintains records for all remote maintenance and diagnostic activities.

c. Codification of spare parts

Answer: Codification / cataloguing is basically an identification system for each item of the inventory. There are often three broad approaches to developing a suitable identification system :

1.Arbitrary approach: As the name suggests ,this approach does not use any design for codification. Rather , as and when an item is received by Stores in its receiving bay, a running and unique serial number is assigned to it. This number becomes the code of the item for subsequent use at different stages. While this system is the easiest one

d. Maintenance Benchmarking

Answer: For many years, benchmarking has been a widely recognized business practice to research ideas, methods, practices, processes and implementing their best features. Here’s how it can make a true difference for the success of maintenance efficiency and effectiveness.

While we enjoy having our machinery up running – the maintenance of it has not always been the most popular nor well-prioritized part of manufacturing. Back in time, it was a common practice to wait for equipment to fail, and then repair it.

Question. 6. Describe various types of preventive maintenance.

Answer: Maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) involves fixing any sort of mechanical, plumbing, or electrical device should it become out of order or broken (known as repair, unscheduled, or casualty maintenance). It also includes performing routine actions which keep the device in working order (known as scheduled maintenance) or prevent trouble from arising (preventive maintenance).
