What is Equipment Maintenance?

Equipment maintenance is done to keep a workplace or facility’s equipment in proper working condition. It maintains every type of equipment used in the workplace. Parts replacement, emergency repairs, and routine or unscheduled inspection are part of equipment maintenance.

How to Make an Equipment Maintenance Checklist

Making an equipment maintenance checklist is easy to do once you’re familiar with all the equipment your business has. All you need to is make a master list of all your equipment (make sure not to exclude anything) and all the details in it such as its manufacturer guidelines and warranty details. Then review the equipment history; its working condition, failure modes, and frequency of breakdowns. The checklist can also include details on what areas need to be maintained and the frequency it needs to be maintained.

How to Maintain Equipment Efficiently

1. Planning

A checklist is part of the equipment maintenance plan that you should definitely have. Aside from a checklist, your plan must have scheduled maintenance, regularly check equipment if there are problems that need to be addressed and repaired, and ensure that all your equipment is working properly. Furthermore, the plan must include a plan when one of your equipment fails suddenly and how you’re going to address it immediately while preventing disruption of operations.

2. Precision

In order to do maintenance for your equipment, it should be done with precision and consistency. The people assigned to do maintenance must be qualified to perform it; they must have the proper training and skills to do maintenance tasks. Maintenance tools must be available. Materials used for maintenance should in high quality. Lastly, all your maintenance plans must be understandable to everyone.

3. Protection

Another important aspect of equipment maintenance is making sure that all employees are safe from hazards. All employees must be equipped with personal protective equipment (PPE). Besides that, make sure they are regular inspections in every workplace and fix exposed wires or power cords that might bring risks to anyone. Employees should also undergo safety training.

4. Measurement

Equipment maintenance wouldn’t be complete without measuring its performance, and so this requires data and analytics. An accurate data will tell you how your equipment performs and operates, and this will guide you on what maintenance strategy you need to do for every piece of equipment to increase their reliability.
