Even the ancient Hebrews understood that life can be navigated by following 10 good rules. Maintenance, too, has certain set-in-stone principles, and following them helps you cope with the challenges of production. Below is our ‘sacred list’ of maintenance principles, which may not save your soul, but could well save your production.
1. Draw up a predictive maintenance programme
2. Document all actions
3. Train staff
4. Use high-quality and suitable tools and equipment
5. Identify and assess risks
6. Monitor performance
7. Continuously assess maintenance processes and look for opportunities for improvement
8. Promote open communication and cooperation between different teams and in the customer-supplier relationship
9. Think about the environment
10. Keep up to date with technology
As we all know, moral life is easy and straightforward, so the Ten Commandments are enough to guide it. Successful maintenance, on the other hand, requires a couple of additional points:
11. Make use of a modern maintenance system
12. Remember that the role of maintenance is to support production and bring benefits to it, not simply to be a mandatory expense
