Q

Determine maintenance policy, strategy and objectives linked to organisation objectives and whole life considerations

A

I have created a maintenance policy to steer the department on cyclical maintenance regimes, as per industry best practice such as SFG20. This document includes our broad objectives detailing what we want to achieve within the next 5 years to ensure our buildings meet our organisational objectives, lease obligations and compliance
The maintenance and asset strategy is currently in development, outlining to the organisation how we will achieve the objectives set in the policy, and also our departmental structure to provide the service.

Q

Determine and implement the type of maintenance regime and organisation that is required, including CAFM/BIM requirements

A

Whilst we are moving to proactive maintenance strategy, we are still mostly operating reactively, and as such lifecycle analysis occurs when there has been a service failure.
I am advising our senior managers that outsourcing the cyclical and reactive maintenance to a total FM organisation will bring many benefits, including consistent service with reduced risk from staff turnover, a contract with clear service level agreement and penalties for not achieving them, minimised downtime, and a helpdesk/CAFM system set up for our use

17
Q

Interpret the results from performance measurement of the maintenance organisation and provide reasoned advice and recommendations.

A
  • Using the mean time to repair metric, I’ve identified that repair times could be increased by outsourcing.
  • Due to our internal financial regulations, we need to obtain 2 or 3 quotations for any works over £1k. This adds time to down time.
  • By competitively tendering for reactive maintenance works, we can remove the need to obtain multiple quotations for smaller works and reduce down time.
18
Q

What are the 4 types of maintenance?

A
  • Run to failure - allow to fail and replace
  • Reactive - repair when advised by contractor or after breakdown
  • Planned shutdown maintenance - replacing items base don DO activity rather than life cycle
  • Reliability centred maintenance - using historical maintenance records to predict the time to the next required service intervention
  • Risk-based - Greater focus on business critical items
  • Condition based - based on condition or run-times. Using sensor for alerts or visual
19
Q

List FM guidance documents:

A
  • SFG 20
  • ISO 41001 - FM management system

21
Q

What are the 7 phases of strategic planning?

A
  1. understand the DO goals and corporate strategy to achieve those goals
  2. understand the ‘primary activities’ of the DO
  3. understand how other components of the DO and support functions are planning to meet that challenge
  4. align the FM strategy with the corporate strategy
  5. set out the key deliverable outcomes from the FM service
  6. create a service delivery plan (including funding needs), which meets the required outcomes and
  7. measure the results of the service delivery
22
Q

What are the benefits of outsourcing?

A
  • Able to concentrate on other services
  • Reduces HR input

    services and costs are included and what is excluded
  5. You must have clear timescales for the procurement
    process
  6. You must provide a clear payment mechanism

28
Q

Name 2 types of maintenance KPIs.

A

leading and lagging indicators.
Leading - indicators signal future events
Lagging - indicators follow the past events.

29
Q

Name 5 maintenance metrics.

A
  1. Planned maintenance percentage (PPC)
    percentage of time spent on planned maintenance activities against the unplanned.
    PPC= (scheduled maintenance time/total maintenance hours) x 100
  2. Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)
    productivity of a piece of equipment based on factors like equipment quality, performance, and availability.
    OEE = availability x performance x quality
  3. Mean time to repair (MTTR)
    measure of the repairable items maintainability.
    The MTTR clock starts ticking when the repairs start and it goes on until operations are restored. This includes repair time, testing period, and return to the normal operating condition.
    MTTR= (SUM of downtime periods/ total number of repairs)
  4. Mean time between failure (MTBF)
    measure of the predicted time between one breakdown to the next during normal operation and tells you the expected lifetime for a specific piece of equipment.
    MTBF= (SUM of operational time/total number of failures)
  5. Preventive maintenance compliance (PMC)
    PM compliance is defined as the percentage of the preventive work scheduled and completed in a set time.
    PMC= (51/60) x 100 = 85%
30
Q

What is the difference between a maintenance policy and strategy?

A
  • policy - broad objectives detailing what we want to achieve
  • Strategy - how we will achieve the objectives set in the policy, and also our departmental structure to provide the service
