Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM)
What is PPM?
Reactive vs Proactive!
Types of PPM?

PPM helps extend the lifespan of assets, reduces downtime, and can lower overall maintenance costs.
Service Frequency will be dependent on specific equipment, plant and safety systems.
Monthly service visits are reserved for inspecting safety systems. Less crucial assets can be serviced annually.
A thorough site visit is required to determine the extent of the PPM schedule and contract terms will reflect that.

Statutory and Non Statutory
"statutory" refers to maintenance required by law to ensure compliance and safety of occupants and staff.
Examples
Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs)
Fire alarm and emergency lighting servicing
Consequences of non compliance Fines, legal action, and safety

Consequences of non compliance Fines, legal action, and safety hazards.
"Non-statutory" refers to maintenance scheduled voluntarily to extend asset life and prevent breakdowns and minimise reactive maintenance costs.
Examples
Lubricating moving parts on machinery
Servicing air conditioning and ventilation systems
General cleaning and inspection of assets

Reactive Maintenance
The "breakdown maintenance" approach, where you fix equipment only after it stops working or breaks down.
Pros: Lower upfront costs as there is no initial investment in scheduled service.
Cons: High long-term costs due to emergency repairs, unplanned downtime, and potential for more extensive damage.

Pros: Lower upfront costs as there is no initial investment in scheduled service.
Cons: High long-term costs due to emergency repairs, unplanned downtime, and potential for more extensive damage.
Proactive Maintenance
A forward-thinking strategy that aims to prevent equipment failures.
Pros: Reduces unexpected downtime and production delays.
Increases equipment reliability and lifespan.
Lowers long-term costs by avoiding expensive emergency repairs.
Improves safety by identifying and fixing potential hazards.
Cons: Requires higher upfront planning and regular costs for inspections and service.
