Preventive Maintenance (BJ2)

This scope item describes the processes you perform to prevent system breakdowns or breakdowns of other objects that have high repair costs. Such breakdowns result in greater costs due to production downtime. Preventive maintenance support processes to plan the scope and time of maintenance work for inspections, maintenance, and repairs, in advance. The quality of products manufactured is substantially affected by the operational condition of the production plant. There is a requirement for quality assurance to be more cost effective to maintain objects regularly, and in return avoid a more expensive breakdown. You determine the data required for preventive maintenance by using previous data supplied by the system. In addition to internal company aspects for planned maintenance, you should consider external factors due to an increasing number of conditions set by legislative bodies demanding more stringent requirements on planned monitoring and maintenance of objects.
