PM Program Improvement

DOE-STD-1052-93

3.4.3.7

Using the results of the PM program evaluation presented in Section

3.4.3.6, the following improvements should be addressed and

implemented as appropriate:

a) adjustment of PM task interval

b) redefinition of PM activities

c) addition or deletion of PM activities

d) adjustment of spare parts stocking levels

e) propose design changes

f) identification of special tools

g) revised PM program and/or PM task procedures

h) replacement of cost/labor intensive items

NOTE:

Appendix D contains an enhanced PM program

which may be used for the development or revision

of plant specific PM programs.

3.4.4 Predictive Maintenance

3.4.4.1

Predictive maintenance should be integrated into the overall preventive

maintenance program so that "just-in-time" planned maintenance may be

performed prior to equipment failure. Not all equipment conditions and

failure modes can be monitored; therefore, predictive maintenance should

be selectively applied. Reliable predictive maintenance is normally

preferable to periodic internal, inspection or equipment overhauls. In

addition, corrective maintenance efficiency may be improved by directing

repair efforts (manpower, tooling, parts) at problems detected using

predictive maintenance techniques.
