2. 1.Runto Failure Maintenance (RTF) management procedures:
Every assetshouldbe individuallyanalyzedtodetermine whatmaintenance approachsupportsthe
organization’sshortandlong-termgoalsandobjectives.Here are three stepsyoucanuse to see if run to
failure hasa place inyour assetmanagementstrategy:
Step One: Know the cost of the asset, both to purchase and to replace.
For inexpensive assetsthatare fast andeasyto replace,itmay be lessexpensivetopractice “Fail and
Replace”thanto incurlabor coststo performpreventive maintenancetasks.
Run to failure canalsomake sense if spare partsare cheapand readilyavailable inspare partsinventory,
and if laborcosts to repairor replace the assetare cheap.
Step Two: Know the labor costs associated with the life cycle of the asset under
consideration.
Maintenance laborcostsvary widelydependingonthe tasksandtype of skilledlaborrequired.Knowing
whatthose laborcosts are can helpyoumake informeddecisions.Youshouldbe able totrack and
analyze the laborcostsfor:
· Preventivemaintenance (PM) tasks
· Labor costs forthe mostcommonrepairsto the assetwhenitbreaks
· Labor costs to replace itwhenitfails
Step Three: Know the downtime and related costs associated with the asset failure.
Downtime costsinclude bothlaborcoststorestore the assetto functional statusand“secondary
damage”that may occur as a resultof the assetfailure.
Before decidingonarun to failure approach,considerpotentialsecondarydamage complications.In
manycases,the secondarydamage resultingfromthe primaryassetfailure mayfarexceedthe costand
consequencesof the originalassetbreakdown.Thiscouldbe due to:
Increasedcostsdue to unplannedequipmentdowntime

1. Preventive Maintenance(PM) management procedures:
The followingstepsare requiredtodevelopyourPMprocedures:
Divide equipmentintocomponents.
How does the componentwork?
How doesitfail?
What essential care doesitneed?
Is the life of the componentpredictable orunpredictable?
Doesit have a Failure DevelopingPeriod(FDP)?
Selectthe mostcost effective maintenancemethod.
3. Do maintenance onthe run (OTR) or duringshutdown(SD) of the equipment?
Selectobjectiveorsubjective (senses) methodtocheckthe condition?
DevelopyourPMtask.
Selectthe frequencybasedonFDP
Decide whoisgoingto do the task ona regularbasis.
Transferall the PM’s into your CMMS.
2. Corrective Maintenance (CM) management procedures:
it ispossible toproperlymanage amaintenance departmentif isnotestablishedasystemable to
carry out efficientlythe needsof corrective maintenance (failuresrepair).Oureffortsare of little use
to try to preventfailuresif,whentheyhappen,we are unable toprovide anadequate response.Also,
we must rememberthatahighpercentage of man-hoursdevotedtomaintenance are usedinsolving
equipmentfailuresthathave notbeendetectedbymaintenance,buttheyhave beencommunicated
by the productionstaff.Thispercentage varieswidelyamongcompanies,fromthose where 100% is
corrective maintenance,there isnotevenalubrication;tothose veryfew,inwhichall interventions
are planned.Byestimate,we mightconsiderthat,onaverage,over70% of total time spenton
maintenance isusedforsolvingunscheduledfailures.
The time requiredforanequipmentimplementationafterafailure,isdistributedasfollows:
Time detection: Itisthe time betweenthe originof the problemanditsdetection.There isa
relationshipbetweendetectiontime andtotal resolutiontime:the soonerthe faultisdetected,in
general,will have causedlessdamage andwill be easierandcheapertorepair.
Communication time:itisthe time betweenproblemdetectionandthe maintenanceteam

Waiting time: It isthe time betweenthe failure communicationandthe startof the repair.It
includesthe waitingtimetohave workerscanaddressthe incidence,the paperworkneededto
intervene (equipmentstops,workorderrequest,obtainaworkpermit,equipmentisolation,etc..)
Diagnosisof the breakdown: It istime formaintenance operatortodeterminewhatishappening

Collection of tools and technical means: Once determinedwhattodo,the personnel
responsible forthe repairmayneedsome time toputinthe interventionplace the means

Collection of spare parts and materials: It isthe time until the deliveryof the materials

Functional tests. It is the time needed to verify that the equipment has been properly
repaired. The time spent on functional testing is usually a good investment.
