Introduction of Maintenance analysis

The definition of maintenance analysis: o The care and serving by personnel for the purpose of maintaining equipment and facilities in satisfactory operating condition by providing for systematic inspection, detection, and correction of incipient failures either before they occur or before they develop into major defects. o Maintenance, including tests, measurements, adjustments, and parts replacement, performed specifically to prevent faults from occurring.

Introduction to subheading: Preventive maintenance can be described as maintenance of equipment or systems before fault occurs. It can be divided into two subgroups: o Planned maintenance and o Condition based maintenance The main difference of subgroups is determination of maintenance time, or determination of moment when maintenance should be performed. While preventive maintenance is generally considered to be worthwhile, there are risks such as equipment failure or human error involved when performing preventive maintenance, just as in any maintenance operation. Preventive maintenance as scheduled overhaul or scheduled replacement provides two of the three proactive failure management policies available to the maintenance engineer. Common methods of determining what preventive failure management Policies should be applied are; OEM recommendations, requirements of codes and legislation within a jurisdiction, what an expert thinks ought to be done, or the maintenance thats already done to similar equipment, and most important measured values and performing indications.

To make it simple: Preventive maintenance is conducted to keep equipment working and extend the life of the equipment. Corrective maintenance, sometimes called repair is conducted to get equipment working again. The primary goal of maintenance is to avoid or mitigate the consequences of failure of equipment. This may be by preventing the failure before it actually occurs which planned maintenance help to achieve. It is designed to preserve and restore equipment reliability by replacing worn components before them actual fail. A preventive maintenance activity includes partial or complete overhauls at specific periods, oil changes lubrication and so on. In addition, workers can record equipment deterioration so they know to replace or repair worn parts before they cause system failure. The ideal preventive maintenance program would prevent all equipment failure before it occurs.

Swot analysis:
Strengths: Crescent Textile Mills is using imported machinery It has high financial resources It has competent staff working for the progress of the company It has certificate of ISO 9002 It always sets new standards for quality Its design studio is equipped with latest technology. Weaknesses: There is lack of proper training programs especially for workers. They learn through experience and from seniors thats the reason of high rate of wastage during production. Wastage is very high especially in spinning sector because of burnt of parts. Opportunities: As Crescent Textile Mills is ISO-9002 certified company so it has a chance to increase maintenance analysis for expand business all over the world. Long term loans are easily available for maintenance of facilities and machines. Threats: Foreign investment in textile sector in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and India is a danger in future for Crescent Textile Mills It has been seen that many other groups in Pakistan have entered in competition with Crescent Textile Mills. If they will not be competed well, there is a chance that they can get share of export from foreign buyers.

Recommendation: A proper training should be given to the employees and the workers to enhance their skills to increase their productivity and ultimately of the company. All the duties and responsibilities of the employees and the workers should be clearly defined. The management should hire multi-skilled workers to maintenance of machines or facilities. Conclusion: We got a lot of experience from Crescent Textile Mills. During our research we came to know that how the different activities take place, what are the procedures? The Crescent Textile Mills is on the way of progress. It has been earning profit for the last five years. The management is professionally qualified and experienced. The Crescent Textile Mills should motivate their employees by providing different incentives. Their salary package is also not attractive. The performance of the Human Resource department is also not satisfactory. Crescent Textile Mills look at maintenance on facilities, machines and so on. Crescent textile mills must look on machines maintenance timely; change the oil or other lubricants on time which can increase productivity and save wastage of time.
