Definition Maintenance DIN 31051

Combination of all technical and administrative measures as well as management measures during the life cycle of a unit of consideration to maintain the functional state or return to it so that it can fulfil the required function.

Maintenance can be completely subdivided into the basic measures of maintenance, inspection, repair and improvement.

Maintenance

Measures to delay the wear of machinery and equipment

Inspection

Measures for determining and assessing existing wear and tear on machinery and equipment

Repair

Measures for restoring machines and systems to the targeted condition

Elimination of weak points

Measures to improve the current situation

In order to increase plant availability and reduce operating costs, “integrated maintenance management systems” with the following focal points will be integrated:

  • Securing of test and maintenance dates

  • Complete documentation of maintenance processes

  • Fault detection and fault processing

  • Recording and management of relevant spare parts

  • Work planning with order creation

  • Determination of maintenance costs and expenses

  • Classification and standardization

  • Know-How-Transfer

  • Securing of test and maintenance dates

  • Complete documentation of maintenance processes

  • Fault detection and fault processing

  • Recording and management of relevant spare parts

  • Know-How-Transfer

Goal: TPM (TOTAL PRODUCTIVE MAINTENANCE)

The aim of most companies is to make profit in order to secure and expand the company on the market and to meet the requirements of shareholders and employees.

Companies of all sorts are particularly successful if they utilise their resources such as know-how, machines and plants, brands and patents and, most importantly, their employees, as efficiently as possible.

  • Total

    Die Summe, die Gesamtsumme, ganzheitlich

  • Productive

    Ertragreich, ergiebig, zielführend, leistungsfähig

  • Maintenance

    Die Aufrechterhaltung, die Pflege, die Überholung, die Instandsetzung

TPM is a matter of integrated maintenance management. Many companies today understand TPM as a manual for cleaning machines.

But if TPM is understood as a comprehensive management system to increase the competitiveness of a company, it is necessary to define the goal clearly.

  • TPM aims to establish a suitable corporate and work culture in order to continuously and sustainably improve efficiency within production and all other areas, processes and systems.

  • TPM establishes an overarching system to identify and avoid all losses and wastes, such as accidents outages and incidents of any kind, with activities continuing directly at the scene and focused directly on the deviations.

  • TPM is thus introducing a continuous improvement process that encompasses all areas of the company such as development, production, sales and administration.

  • TPM mobilizes the entire knowledge and skills of all employees, and therefore requires comprehensive commitment of all those affected and involved, especially the full dedication, example and support of managers at all levels.
