1 Assess your equipment

The first step is to assess the condition, age, and performance of your electrical equipment. You can use various methods, such as visual inspection, testing, monitoring, or historical data, to evaluate the status and risks of your equipment. You should also identify the criticality of each equipment, based on its impact on your operations, safety, and quality. This will help you prioritize your maintenance activities and allocate your budget accordingly.

Developing an electrical equipment maintenance plan that balances cost and performance involves several key steps and considerations: Equipment Inventory and Assessment, Risk Assessment, Maintenance Strategies, Cost Analysis, Performance Metrics, Optimization, Continuous Improvement, Preventive Maintenance: Scheduled inspections, testing, and servicing performed at regular intervals to prevent equipment failures. Predictive Maintenance, Reactive Maintenance, Reliability-centered Maintenance (RCM). By following these steps and considerations, you can develop an electrical equipment maintenance plan that effectively balances cost and performance, helping to maximize equipment reliability and minimize operational disruptions.

Perform a comparison of your current/past electrical maintenance schedule and compare it to your breakdown history. Once this analysis is complete you can than determine which equipment requires more or less maintenance focus which allows you to allocate more manpower and resources to more sensitive or failure prone projects and equipment. This helps keep costs low and performance high with an individual machine focused maintenance plan vice one size fits all.

Pretty helpful to have the actual people present that use the equipment on a daily basis to showcase their struggles or suggestions. Actually listen. Hire qualified candidates. Incentivize good upkeep and low downtime. Schedule preventative maintenance. Keep good records.

2 Choose your maintenance strategy

The next step is to choose the most suitable maintenance strategy for each equipment, based on your assessment. There are different types of maintenance strategies, such as reactive, preventive, predictive, or condition-based, that have different advantages and disadvantages. For example, reactive maintenance is the simplest and cheapest option, but it can lead to more failures and downtime. Preventive maintenance is more proactive and reduces the risk of breakdowns, but it can also be wasteful and unnecessary. Predictive maintenance is more data-driven and efficient, but it requires more sophisticated tools and skills. Condition-based maintenance is more adaptive and flexible, but it can also be complex and costly. You should weigh the benefits and costs of each strategy, and select the one that best suits your equipment's needs and goals.

In choosing maintenance strategy, more attention should be given to preventive maintenance which in turn reduces the amount of needed maintenance.

3 Plan your maintenance activities

The third step is to plan your maintenance activities, based on your chosen strategy. You should schedule your maintenance tasks, such as inspections, repairs, replacements, or upgrades, according to the frequency, duration, and scope required by your strategy. You should also assign the roles and responsibilities of your maintenance team, and ensure that they have the necessary skills, tools, and resources to perform the tasks. You should also communicate your maintenance plan to your stakeholders, such as managers, operators, or customers, and inform them of the expected outcomes and impacts of your maintenance activities.

Implement a Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) approach to focus maintenance efforts on critical equipment and failure modes that have the greatest impact on performance and safety. Prioritize maintenance tasks based on their potential to prevent or mitigate equipment failures and prioritize resources accordingly. We are at the era of data. We can use data science and the machine learning techniques to establish a well-peforming RCM.

4 Implement your maintenance plan

The fourth step is to implement your maintenance plan, according to your schedule and procedures. You should follow the best practices and standards of electrical equipment maintenance, and ensure that your maintenance tasks are done safely, correctly, and efficiently. You should also document your maintenance actions, such as the date, time, results, and issues of each task, and store them in a reliable and accessible system. You should also track and measure your maintenance performance, such as the availability, reliability, and quality of your equipment, and compare them with your targets and benchmarks.

5 Review and improve your maintenance plan

The fifth step is to review and improve your maintenance plan, based on your feedback and results. You should analyze your maintenance data, such as the frequency, cost, and effectiveness of your maintenance tasks, and identify the strengths and weaknesses of your maintenance plan. You should also solicit the opinions and suggestions of your maintenance team and stakeholders, and evaluate their satisfaction and expectations. You should then use this information to identify the gaps and opportunities for improvement, and make the necessary adjustments to your maintenance plan. You should also update your maintenance plan regularly, to reflect the changes and trends in your equipment and environment.

6 Learn from others

The sixth step is to learn from others, who have experience and expertise in electrical equipment maintenance. You can seek advice, guidance, or support from your peers, mentors, or consultants, who can share their best practices, lessons learned, or insights with you. You can also join online or offline communities, forums, or networks, where you can exchange ideas, information, or resources with other power engineers. You can also attend training, workshops, or seminars, where you can enhance your skills, knowledge, or tools in electrical equipment maintenance. By learning from others, you can expand your horizons, improve your performance, and achieve your goals.
