Targeted Preventive Maintenance of Pharmaceutical Equipment

Abstract

To study effective management mode for preventive maintenance of equipment in pharmaceutical enterprises. Different pharmaceutical equipment has different importance in the producing process, so maintenance to each equipment should be different. A targeted maintenance reqiures to classify equipment and its components. To this aim, with help of assessment tools such as System Impact Assessment(SIA), Component Criticality Assessment(CCA) and deision-making grip, the specific targeted maintenance plan can be made and then implement it. Check the effect and feed back the problems. According to assess result of SIA & CCA, and deision-making grip, Pharmaceutical equipment can be classified into key equipment, important equipment and insignificant equipment. Components of equipment can be divided into two levels, critical and non-critical. For critical components of key equipment, comprehensive maintenance is needed. Maintenance of non-critical parts of key equipment and critical parts of important equipment should be paid great attention to. As for non-critical parts of important equipment and insignificant equipment, daily maintenance is enough. Such maintenance plan makes a distinction between the important equipment and the lesser ones. Through targeted management, preventive maintenance effect can be improved.
