As discussed in my previous article- why service of laundry machinery is very important to arrest the loss in business revenues and other things.

In this article I will throw some light on what are the various types of service maintenance and their importance.

Traditionally, maintenances have been distinguished into 5 types that are differentiated by the nature of the tasks that they include-

• Corrective maintenance: 

Set of tasks are destined to correct the defects that are found in the different equipments and the same is communicated to the maintenance department by end users of that equipment.

• Preventive Maintenance: 

Its mission is to maintain a level of certain service on equipment, programming the interventions of their vulnerabilities in the most opportune time. It is used to be a systematic character, i.e., the equipment is inspected even if it does not give any symptoms of having a problem.

• Predictive Maintenance: 

To apply this maintenance, it is necessary to identify physical variables (temperature, vibration, power consumption, etc.,). The variation which is indicative of the problem will be appearing on the equipment. This maintenance is the most technical, since it requires advanced technical resources.

• Zero Hours Maintenance (Overhaul): 

The set of tasks whose goal is to review the equipment at scheduled intervals before appearing any failure, either when the reliability of the equipment has decreased considerably and hence it is risky to make forecasts of production capacity. This review is based on leaving the equipment to zero hours of operation, that is, as if the equipment were new. These reviews will replace or repair all items subject to wear. The aim is to ensure, with high probability, a good working time fixed in advance.

• Periodic maintenance (Time Based Maintenance TBM): 

The basic maintenance of equipment made by the users themselves. It consists of a series of elementary tasks (data collections, visual inspections, cleaning, lubrication, retightening screws,…) for which no extensive training is necessary, but perhaps only a brief training. This type of maintenance is the based on TPM (Total Productive Maintenance).

Therefore preventive maintenance is one of the best types as it ensures that the production doesn’t stop and machine maintenance is kept up to the mark all the time.

Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC):

AMC is that type of contract which includes service costs as well as visit costs by the service providers. If there is any type of damage in the machines, the spares cost should be borne by the owner and the maintenance service provider doesn’t involve in this. The owner of the machinery himself will purchase the spares and give them to the maintenance service provider.

Comprehensive Maintenance Contract (CMC):

CMC is that type of contract which includes service costs, visit costs and also the spares cost. The maintenance service providers will themselves bear the price of the spares as the owner of the machinery will pay the spares price as per the contract.

Therefore it is upon the LDC service providers to decide upon which type of contract they should use.
