Preventive Maintenance: A Proactive Approach Prevent Emergencies, Extend Equipment Lifecycles and Save Substantial $$$$$$
Presented by Tony Kwiatkowski, owner and general manager of Tech Services of New Jersey, a full-service commercial maintenance provider serving New Jersey, Eastern Pennsylvania and Southern New York.
The four different maintenance program segments Preventive Maintenance – carried out at predetermined intervals with the purpose of reducing system breakdowns or performance degradation.
Predictive Maintenance – uses statistics, measurements and experience to determine the service interval for a particular piece of equipment, ensuring that service is done at the most optimal time.
Planned Maintenance – a system of activities scheduled as a result of predictive maintenance findings, which halt deterioration and restore facilities or equipment to peak working condition improving up-time, output quality and reducing maintenance costs.
Corrective Maintenance -unscheduled emergency repairs that restore day-to-day operations when assets and equipment stop functioning, resulting in high costs in labor and materials.
ADHERENCE TO SEGMENTS 1 – 3 HELP TO AVOID THE COSTLY 4TH SEGMENT
Corrective Maintenance = WASTE Reactive response to emergency is wasteful and results in: The repair of equipment that should have been replaced The purchase or rental of equipment to fix the problem temporarily, until the permanent equipment is delivered The purchase or rental of excess material Payment of overtime hours to resolve the emergency situation Loss of business/customers due to unnecessary downtime
A Case Study in Corrective Maintenance
An effective Preventive Maintenance Program needs to include: Non-destructive testing Periodic inspection Preplanned maintenance activities Maintenance to correct deficiencies found through testing or inspections End of lifecycle identification Efficiency upgrade identification

An Effective Preventive Maintenance Program Will Reduce LongTerm Cost, Increase Life of Equipment, and Improve Efficiency Improve & Optimize Identify Efficiency Upgrade (most ideal mindset) Fix & Improve
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Identify End Of Lifecycle (improved perspective)
Fix It Before It Breaks
REACTIVE MAINTENANCE
RISK MANAGEMENT Fix It After it Breaks
Don’t Fix it (like the hotel)

This sounds great! How can I get started? Identify critical equipment Identify second tier equipment Load information into an Excel spreadsheet or CMMS program Create and adhere to your schedule of inspections, maintenance and assessments manufacturers with model numbers, serial numbers and installation dates of all equipment
A solid Preventive Maintenance program provides solutions for problems before they arise
Enjoy the benefits! Extend the life of building systems and equipment. Reduce liability when eliminating emergency situations. Reduce risk associated with not operating. Mainstream operations, increase efficiency and reduce costs.
