This module addresses the following learning outcomes:
• The difference between production and PPM scheduling
• Preparation for breakdown maintenance to avoid unnecessary delays in the production process
6.2 Basic Principles: Maintenance Scheduling
Maintenance scheduling is a compressive or detained list of all maintenance action and their methods and time of their execution. In other words, it may be defined as a document or detailed report. A scheduled program thus prepared should be followed strictly. The schedule should be in detail specifying the points requiring daily, weekly, monthly and yearly attention. Practical maintenance schedule can be developed by the following principles:
6.2.1 A schedule should be done in two ways

• Improved utilization of the maintenance workforce by reducing delays and interruptions
• Improved quality of maintenance work by adopting the best methods and procedures and assigning the most qualified workers for the job
6.3.2 Planning and Scheduling Objectives
• Minimizing the idle time of maintenance workers.
• Maximizing the efficient use of work time, material, and equipment.
• Maintaining the operating equipment at a responsive level to the need of production in terms of delivery schedule and quality.
6.3.3 Classification of Maintenance Work
Classification of Maintenance Work according to Planning and Scheduling Purposes
• Routine maintenance: are maintenance operations of a periodic nature. They are planned and scheduled and in advance. They are covered by blanket orders.
• Emergency or breakdown maintenance: interrupt maintenance schedules in order to be performed. They are planned and scheduled as they happened.
• Design modifications: are planned and scheduled and they depend on eliminating the cause of repeated breakdowns.
• Scheduled overhaul and shutdowns of the plant: planned and scheduled in

• Assign workers with appropriate skills.
• Review safety procedures.
• Set priorities for all maintenance work.
• Assign cost accounts.
• Complete the work order.
• Predict the maintenance load using effective forecasting technique.
6.3.6 Basic Levels of Planning Process
1. Long-range planning • It covers a period of 3 to 5 years and sets plans for future activities and long-range improvement.
2. Medium-range planning • It covers a period of 1 month to 1 year and needs to utilize the following:
• Sound forecasting techniques to estimate the maintenance load.
• Reliable job standards times to estimate staffing requirements.
• Aggregate planning tools such as linear programming to determine resource requirements.
• Specify how the maintenance workers will operate.
• Provide details of major overhauls, construction jobs, preventive maintenance plans, and plant shutdowns.
• Balances the need for staffing over the period covered.
• Estimates required spare parts and material acquisition
3. Short-range planning • It covers a period of 1 day to 1 week. It focuses on the determination of all the elements required to perform maintenance tasks in
The proposed solutions will eliminate the problems and maintenance issues cause by the lack of military and civilian maintenance personnel. These proven solutions will help other units that deployed to facilitate phase maintenance with ease and aligns with the P4T3 process.
When we talk about aviation maintenance, we speak of repairs, alterations and the act of preserving an aircraft in its original airworthy condition. An airworthiness certificate is given to an aircraft after countless hours of design, research and testing. And in order to keep this certificate valid; an aircraft must be maintained in accordance with a certain specification. These specifications are brought to us by the Federal Aviation Administration. The Federal Aviation Regulation part that spells out these rules is found in part 43. These acts are performed to prevent harm to pilots, passengers, and even innocent bystander that may become involved in an incident due to improper maintenance. As maintenance managers, we must understand these implications that must be followed, so that we may ensure that our facility is performing to the standards set upon us by the FAA. The Federal Aviation Act of 1958 allowed for the regulation of air commerce in such manner as to best promote its development and safety. This brought about a rulemaking process to insure that all aspects of aviation could be regulated in a way as to provide maximum safety to all. This was the initial birth of 14 CFR 43, or Part 43 of the FAR's which is ironically titled Maintenance, Preventive Maintenance, Rebuilding, and Alteration (Federal Aviation Regulations [FAR], VII, 1997). This part has been primarily written for individuals or repair facilities that may be performing some sort of maintenance, preventive maintenance, rebuilding and or alterations. It refers to a number of qualified individuals that include holders of mechanic, repairman, air carrier, or even a pilot's certificate, that may perform an array of the procedures listed in this part. So when it comes down to it, we as maintenance managers must know and live by FAR part 43 in order for our employees to work and perform in a legal and safe manor. As the title implies, this part of the Federal Aviation Regulations prescribes rules of governing the maintenance, preventive maintenance, rebuilding, and alteration of any aircraft having a U.S. airworthiness certificate; any foreign-registered aircraft used to carry mail under pt.121, 127 or 135; and airframe, aircraft engines, propellers, appliances, and components of such aircraft. This is exclusive of aircraft holding an experim...

Following and performing the recommended scheduled maintenance for your Cadillac could mean the difference between keeping your investment in good working order and having repair issues because you didn't properly maintain it. And as you would expect, paying a few scheduled maintenance service fees will always be MUCH cheaper than having to pay for a major repair due to deferring a maintenance issue.
MAINTENANCE: Keep our station and boats running and looking great. Preventative maintenance, material condition, and house-keeping are the responsibilities of everyone.

* Commissioning is a process in which engineers observe a building and perform a tune-up to ensure that its systems are operating
Our commitment to steady, long-term improvement in our products and processes is the cornerstone of our business strategy. To achieve this objective, we must work to continuously improve the overall quality of our design, manufacturing, administrative, and support organizations.
Overseeing the maintenance of non-computing office equipment to ensure it is in good working order (for example, copiers/printers/collators/laminators).
Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) means systematic caring, inspecting, and servicing of military equipment to keep it in good condition and to prevent breakdowns. The operator of the vehicle mission is to be sure to perform PMCS each time he/she operate the vehicle. Always do the PMCS in the same order, so it gets to be a habit. Once you've had some practice, you will quickly spot anything wrong.
Ensured maintenance systems, planning and support was properly managed in order to deliver high operational performance, through hands-on ground work with the trades and top end managerial support, documentation control and deliverables to client and owners.
Preventive maintenance can be defined as an activity performed on a certain schedule which is intended to prevent breakdowns or deterioration. These activities can include regular inspection along with solving any discovered problems or situations and regularly scheduled parts changes. Preventive maintenance involves the scheduled adjustment, inspection, replacement of wearable parts, calibrations, basic cleaning and lubrication of equipment or other recommendation made by the equipment manufacturer. These activities can help increase the equipment functional life and help decrease facilities deterioration. No equipment should, No equipment should reach the breaking point [1].
As the development of aviation industry grows, more and more aircraft crashes occur. There are many reasons that lead to aircraft crashes, but one of them, is because of improper aircraft maintenance. Why is proper aircraft maintenance so important? Proper aircraft maintenance is critical in order to keep the aircraft can function properly, every aircraft part is in good condition and ensure the safety of pilots and passengers. Proper maintenance has many parts. The most common part is inspections, which pilots do them every day; the main part is overhaul and repair of an aircraft; and maintenance documentation is another important part of aircraft maintenance which improper maintenance documentation has caused many incidents.
It also ensures that all maintenance activities align with best practice and delivery of outlined objectives.
