7.  Maintenance is a Support Function within an Organization and Maintenance
costs generally constitute a part of Production overhead costs except when
Maintenance is carried out on Customer Assets to earn revenue.
 Primary Objective of Maintenance is to maintain a high level of
Availability, preventing degeneration and maintaining optimal utilization life of an
Organization’s Physical Assets.
 Physical Assets primarily comprise:
 Fixed assets such as Plant & Machinery, Buildings & Properties, Vehicles and
so on. Usually such assets have a Long useful life (usually > 1 year) over which
they are depreciated
 Operating Assets which may not be treated as Assets in Financial Module nor
depreciated, but having a long term utilization
 High valued current assets such as High valued spares/operating
supplies/machine parts which are subject to Refurbishments with their condition
based values maintained accurately
 Key Performance objectives in Maintenance include
 Maintaining a high level of OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness)
Maintaining and Optimal balance between Cost of Breakdown vs. Cost of
Prevention
Utilizing concepts such as TPM, RCM etc. to contribute in Lowering Operating
costs and minimize adverse effects on Equipment ,Operating resources and
