PROPER OPERATION OF MAINTENANCE-CONTINUE

Maintenance is basically, a cause and effect condition rather than treat the effects with the company down time for production equipment, and it is better to try eliminate the cause economically.In such a preventive maintenance program both planned and unplanned work should be considered. This means carrying out regular preventive schedules and performing several such tasks when a machine is in repair for another reason.In such reduction of the need manufacturers recommend,at either six months or every year.Actually depending on the grease used and the condition of the coupling, re- lubrication periods could be longer or shorter (Gomorous and Zalous,2004).
In some application the equipment to which a coupling is installed cannot be stopped when a re- lubrication is scheduled. while this cause no problem in lubricating the equipment bearings,it prevent coupling lubrication. It is then possible that the coupling is not serviced until the next scheduled maintenance


COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS OF DATA:
Quinn (1996) Comments that there are many reasons while maintenance work is needed, initial decision established to some extent the amount of maintenance work that would be required, Such design decision may be based on reliable data passed experience and or opinions.Too differences in cost may effect selection of commercially available units or components of production equipment. But all those factors will later mean more or less need for maintenance,depending on the quality of the original equipment chosen. Also contributing to the needs of maintenance work is deviation from acceptable operation practices,quality of separate components within a larger equipment system and continuing quality of maintenance workmanship or work performance standard, The work culture of the group including the stability of the systems,and  good team spirit. will uplift personnel performance, upgrade production plan and the workmen..   .
