TYPES OF MAINTENANCE

SAMPLE LESSON PLAN

LESSON PLAN

The instructor should be familiar with the following background information:

a. A maintenance program includes two basic types of maintenance: corrective and

preventive maintenance.

b. A proper balance of both types of maintenances may provide a high degree of

confidence that specific facility and process equipment degradation is identified and

corrected, that equipment life is optimized, and that the maintenance program is

cost effective.

c. This balance may include, on one extreme, no preventive maintenance for some

equipment that is allowed to run until it fails, since its failure would not adversely

impact operations. On the other extreme, extensive preventive maintenance may

be required for some equipment where failure may limit safe or reliable system

operations.

d. Each preventive maintenance action should be scheduled at appropriate intervals

and combined with corrective maintenance activities on the same equipment. This

would reduce the number of times equipment has to be removed from and returned

to service.

To teach this lesson, the following training housekeeping items are required:

a. Location for the training,

b. Approximately 30 minute time period for the training,

c. Notification of selected employees, and

d. A copy of the site's corrective and preventive maintenance job request form(s).

This lesson has the following trainee enabling objective:

Explain the uses of and differentiate between corrective and preventive maintenance.
