Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it important to maintain equipment?

Maintaining equipment helps ensure that it will perform normally, and is less likely to have more serious problems later on.

What are examples of equipment maintenance in a production facility?

Examples of equipment maintenance in a production facility include: cleaning, lubrication, replacing parts, making adjustments to parts, and inspections.

If equipment isn’t properly maintained, what are some problems that may occur?

If equipment doesn’t receive proper maintenance, some problems that may occur include: operating at a lower speed or capacity, producing products with inconsistent quality or defects, and becoming dangerous to equipment operators.

Why would it be expensive to have a piece of equipment that wasn’t properly maintained?

One cost is the maintenance work itself, which can include replacement machine parts and payment to specialized maintenance workers, as well as any money lost due to the company not being able to make and sell products while the equipment is down.

How does maintenance improve product quality?

Proper equipment maintenance helps ensure that the production process creates products with a consistent quality and with minimal defects.
