Improvement Maintenance

Improvement - Dependability improvement

According to the European standard, improvement is defined as: "Combination of all technical, administrative and manegerial actions, intended to ameliorate the intrincic reliability and/or maintainability and/or safety of an item, without changing the original function.

Note. An improvement may also be introduced to prevent misuse in operation to avoid failures. For Maintenance, this means all actions aimed at extending the service life and eliminating future failures

Within the framework of Improvement Maintenance, one should exclude actions where the purpose of the activity is to improve the speed or quality output of machinery or equipment. The same applies to the adaptation of equipment for a new product or packaging. We register and report these actions as a Modification in MaintMaster CMMS.

EXAMPLES OF ACTIVITIES FOR IMPROVEMENT MAINTENANCE
• Building away errors
• Training activities
• Organisational changes
• Developing work instructions
• Implementation of a maintenance system
• Improve the maintainability of a piece of equipment
