1.0 Objective
To ensure that all production machines/equipment are proactively maintained in an adequate manner.
2.0 Scope
This Work Instruction covers all activities related to preventive maintenance of production machines/equipment.
Procedure
The Manager of each department prepares a schedule of routine maintenance by referring to the Master List of Machines (SU/4/004) under his/her control. The schedule is for a period of one year. All machines are maintained at least twice during that year.
Monthly schedules (Monthly Schedule for Maintenance/Servicing of Machines: SU/4/005) are then prepared by the department head, or by any other personnel from staff authorized by the Department head, listing all machines/equipment for maintenance in each month and are held by the maintenance personnel.
Due to high production or for any other reason if it is not possible to do the maintenance of machine(s) on mentioned date, it should be re-scheduled. Any such rescheduling must fall within a month of the initial scheduled maintenance and be at the discretion of the department head.
Each schedule is circulated to all appropriate supervisors/personnel.
Maintenance personnel carry out the maintenance. Once the maintenance activity as per schedule is completed, the maintenance personnel and the concerned supervisor will conform by signing the Machine Maintenance / Breakdown Card: SU/4/001), which is fixed to each machine/piece of equipment, thus reflecting maintenance status.
When monthly maintenance is completed, the maintenance personnel will confirm it by signing the Monthly Schedule for Maintenance / Servicing of Machines and submits it to the department head. The department head will also sign it and will retain that record for three years.
If any card is completely filled, it shall be retained as a quality record for three years. A new card shall be fixed to that machine / equipment.
