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..
