Namaskaar, in this short video we learn about the different maintenance strategies for the property and its assets. The objectives of this training capsule are. 1. Understanding different types of maintenance. 2. Understanding reactive maintenance. 3. Understanding preventive maintenance. 4. Understanding predictive maintenance. 5. Comparing the different maintenance and creating the right maintenance programme for the community we manage. Community management & Facility Management Teams are responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the shared assets they manage. To have enough in the reserve fund to pay for the maintenance of the property, a Community Manager should have a proper grasp on the different types of maintenance styles that exist and know when each is appropriate. These Types are mainly. Reactive maintenance, Preventive maintenance and Predictive Maintenance. Reactive maintenance is what you need to do when something breaks; it is better known as repairs. When a part of the property or an asset has ceased to operate properly, it is necessary to do reactive maintenance. This model is also called a Run to Fail (RTF) model means that there are no other types of maintenance done on the property. Problems are only addressed as things break. Using this model has few benefits. There is less work to be done regularly, so this reduces labour costs. It might even reduce the need to have repair staff on site. However, this can lead to neglect of the property. Parts of the property that are left to fail in this manner can also cause damage to secondary systems. Corrective repairs can also be costlier when they need to be taken care of. Preventative Maintenance attempts to spread out the costs by planning activities regularly. Assets are regularly inspected and cleaned and adjustments are made to them by knowledgeable staff. Since the maintenance is done on a schedule, assets will be addressed at a specific time, not when some type of event occurs. This schedule attempts to head off equipment and asset failures by “preventing” the failures before they happen. By doing this secondary costs can also be reduced. A well-maintained HVAC system will operate more efficiently and have reduced energy consumption costs than one left to its own devices. Preventative maintenance can be labour-intensive and might require having on-site staff to perform the duties. While some failures can be prevented by using this schedule, others will occur regardless of the amount of upkeep that is done. Despite this, there is a cost savings potential overall when using this plan over corrective maintenance schedules. Creating a good preventive maintenance plan is a 5 step process. 1. Establish and Prioritize your goals and give them a form of Preventive Maintenance Calendar. 2. Create KPIs and checklists to carry out maintenance. 3. Buy-in resources: Budget, AMC partners, tools etc. 4. Create a system to trigger the PM and inform the stakeholders and end-users. 5. Train your team and implement the program. Predictive maintenance attempts to forecast when an asset is going to fail. This is done by monitoring the asset and then using the data that is collected to prevent failure before it occurs. If indications show that some type of action needs to be taken, say lubrication of an HVAC pump, then that is performed. Instead of working on a schedule, maintenance is driven by indications given by the equipment. Some complex methods can be used to collect data including an automatic and computerized reading of data. Some examples of the diagnosis methods for predictive maintenance are: 1. Thermography imaging of machines and electrical circuits 2. Drainoscopy of the pipelines 3. Vibration analysis of machines like Elevators, Diesel Generators and Chillers Like the previous methodology, predictive maintenance can also keep equipment operating more efficiently. This method is also less labour-intensive than other systems but carries a more expensive upfront cost. Every maintenance style has its pros and cons, but predictive maintenance and preventive maintenance have sure advantages over reactive maintenance. However, the best maintenance strategy is the right mix of all.
