This presentation was designed to give maintenance and reliability professional fresh ideas for a long time problem, "Reactive Maintenance". Simple ideas lead to results. The 4 Foundational Elements are: #1 – Striking the Balance between PM and PdM #2 – Work Prioritization #3 – Managing the Maintenance Function #4 – Eliminating Failures

8. #2 - Work Priority Distribution
• Priority 1 and 2 Work is Reactive
• Priority 3, 4, and 5 Work is Proactive

9. Work Priority Distribution – a few simple rules
EMERGENT work is anything
that is done as a Priority 1 or 2
CORRECTIVE work is
anything done as a result of
an inspection
CORRECTIVE work should
never be done as a P1 or P2
ROUTINE work is anything
done as a PRIORITY 3
CORRECTIVE work can be
done as Priority 3
CORRECTIVE work should be
done as a Priority 4 and 5
Most CORRECTIVE work
should be done as P4 or P5 if
you embrace P-F mentality

10. #3 – Managing the Maintenance Function
• Managing in a Proactive vs. Reactive State is Different
• Reactive – Most work is accomplished in Priority 1 and 2
• Proactive – Most work is accomplished in Priority 3-5

11. Managing the Maintenance Function Proactively
“Work Prioritization is just a Tool”
Step 1 – Identify your current state to Proactive State
Step 2 – Identify the barriers keeping you from Proactive
Step 3 – Develop a Plan with your staff, key technicians
Step 4 – Execute, manage, adjust the plan and be patient

12. #4 – Failure Elimination

13. How to Eliminate Failures?
• Eliminate the Reactive Environment
• Typical Attributes of a Reactive Environment
– Maintenance workforce not engaged – (maintenance zombies)
– Proactive work environment not known – never seen one
– Conducting PM on equipment that continues to fail
• Create a Proactive Environment
– Focus on Changing Organizational Behaviors (people will follow)
– Visit a Proactive Maintenance Organization (Vision)
– Provide Education and Training (Proactive Work Flow)
• Repeatable / Effective PM, CM, Op Procedures
• PM / PdM and the PF Curve
• Planning
• Scheduling
• Work Execution (Procedure Based)
• Failure Elimination
– KPIs – MTBF by similar equipment types first (know where to focus)
– Establish Failure Elimination Teams , Techs & Operators
