DRIVE	WINTER 2016
PROGRAM	MBA
SEMESTER	IV
SUBJECT CODE & NAME	OM 0015 – MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT
BK ID	B2008
CREDITS AND MARKS	4 CREDITS AND 60 MARKS

Note: Answer all questions. Kindly note that answers for 10 marks questions should be approximately of 400 words. Each question is followed by evaluation scheme.

Question. 1. Explain Overall Purpose of a Maintenance Program

Answer: Objectives of Maintenance Management

The following are some of the objectives of maintenance management:

I. Minimizing the loss of productive time because of equipment failure (i.e. minimizing idle time of equipment due to break down).
II. Minimizing the repair time and repair cost.

III. Minimizing the loss due to production stoppages.

IV. Efficient use of maintenance personnel and equipments.

V. Prolonging the life of capital

Question. 2. Explain different types of maintenance tasks.

Answer: Maintenance organizational efficiency depends upon many interdependent variables. Some of these include: organizational structure, goals and objectives, communications processes, policies and procedures, work processes (methodologies) and employee systems. Maintenance organizations function at three major levels: organizational level (functional and structural relationships), process level (work activities) and job performer level (individual worker.

The ineffectiveness of one level could negatively impact another level. For example, poorly defined work activities, such as the lack of planning and scheduling, can hinder an individual’s performance and attitude.

One element is to develop a process to conceive

Question. 3. Explain following Aspects to be Considered for Machine Quality

Conformance to machine specifications

Frequency of machine failures

Answer: Eight dimension of product quality management can be used at a strategic level to analyze quality characteristics. The concept was defined by David Garvin. Some of the dimensions are mutually reinforcing, whereas others are not—improvement in one may be at the expense of others. Understanding the trade-offs desired by customers among these dimensions can help build a competitive advantage. Garvin's eight dimensions can be summarized as follows:

·       Performance: Performance refers to a product's primary operating characteristics. This dimension of quality involves measurable attributes; brands can usually be ranked objectively on individual aspects of performance.

·       Features: Features are additional

Question. 4. What do you mean by Condition Monitoring? Elaborate various Steps Involved in Condition Monitoring Program

Answer: Condition monitoring (or, colloquially, CM) is the process of monitoring a parameter of condition in machinery (vibration, temperature etc.), in order to identify a significant change which is indicative of a developing fault. It is a major component of predictive maintenance. The use of condition monitoring allows maintenance to be scheduled, or other actions to be taken to prevent failure and avoid its consequences. Condition monitoring has a unique benefit in that conditions that would shorten normal lifespan can be

Question. 5. Write short notes on the following-

a. Zero based budgeting

Answer: Zero-based budgeting (ZBB) is a method of budgeting in which all expenses must be justified for each new period. Zero-based budgeting starts from a "zero base," and every function within an organization is analyzed for its needs and costs. Budgets are then built around what is needed for the upcoming period, regardless of whether the budget is higher or lower than the previous one.

Zero-based budgeting allows top-level

b. Remote maintenance audit

Answer: To protect the integrity of the Postal computing environment, use of remote administration and maintenance software and associated security controls must be approved by the manager, CISO ISS, in cooperation with the requesting organization. Remote management and maintenance must be controlled and activity logs maintained. The remote access links, frequency of access, and associated controls must be documented in the security plan for the information resource. Two-factor authentication must be implemented and all

c. Codification of spare parts

Answer: It is a cumbersome and time consuming task during every transaction to identify a spare part by its description and manufacturer's part number accompanied by the parent equipment's name, make and model designation. Therefore, it is essential to give a numerical name or code to each spare part. This process of giving code to each spare part is called codification. Since, the range of spares used in any organisation is too large and there are quite a few spares meant for specific equipment, it is always preferred to use codes which are significant ie., from the code number one will be able to find out

d. Maintenance Benchmarking

Answer: Benchmarking has become a common practice in all kinds of businesses, but nowhere is it more prevalent than in manufacturing. The idea of measuring yourself against the best is an attractive one -- one that the gurus say can lead to breakthroughs in how you run your business. But like many other great ideas, benchmarking can lead to frustration and disappointment if it isn't approached with proper understanding.

For example, Edwin K. Jones, a plant engineering and maintenance consultant, points out that world-class operations will typically outsource around 30

Question. 6. Describe various types of preventive maintenance.

Answer: 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 and Condition Based Maintenance help to achieve. It is designed to preserve and restore equipment reliability by replacing worn components before they actually fail. Preventive maintenance activities include partial or complete overhauls at specified periods
