Any ideas for Preventive Maintenance checklist?

[legrandguy]

Hi,
I need info about Preventive maintenance system; maybe can you guys share a sample copy of how this checklist will look.

I want to make the preventive maintenance for our drilling company to reduce the downtime.

I started to collect all the equipments (Blow out preventor, Traveling Block, Rotary Table Swivel Assembly....), but my problem is that in the manufacturer manual, they do not break down the maintenance in Daily and Weekly.

Thanks

Do you have any records concerning the performance in YOUR application?

Hello there!

Craig has given a good start. Some equipment manuals specify daily, weekly, annual activities, and some don't.

The first thing I might do is identify what maintenance activities are specified. Maybe start off on a semi-annual basis. Part of preventive maintenance, IMHO, is using some common sense. Do things look worn? Were there failures since the last maintenance? Does everything look brand new? Then, adjust the activities on the equipment according to your use.

For those that are really vague, you might think of contacting the mfg. and see if they can provide some guidance.

Exactly what kind of equipment are you talking about? Is this old/new/ or a mix of age?

As far as offering up a maintenance checklist, it will really depend on your equipment, as activities will be vastly different over types of equipment.

I know that probably is not that helpful. Maybe if you have a little more detail you can provide, that may help us out.

Yep. There is no template that we can move from company to company. Even a manual that says "replace after 100 hours" assumes the type of material being fed through the equipment. Even within a family of products the abrasion, etc. will vary. To start a predictive maintenance, or even a good PM system,we need to start with good usage information.

Hi,
I'm working as Quality technologist in a Oil and Gas Drilling compagny and my new project is to make a Preventive Maintenance sytem for our Drilling Rigs and the equipments are mix of age.
For example how can we make a daily/weekly maintenance for the Centrifugal pump, Blow out preventor, Traveling Block, Rotary Table, Swivel Assembly.... to reduice the downtimé?
Do you have a sample how I can do that?
Thanks

OK. Do you have maintenance data that shows when each piece of equipment has broken down? Hopefully this data will include hours of use so that you can predict how long a particular piece of equipment can be in use before it needs to be rebuilt.

Normal PM, as far as grease, oil, etc. will be specific to the particular asset, and the interval should be available from the manufacturer. Why not contact them?

Any sample we could give you would not apply to your application. Sorry, but it is time for you to do some major homework.

As a start, why not find out the type of oil/grease that is needed for each piece of equipment for each area, and how many "pumps" of the grease gun is needed for each, and put that into a checksheet for each area operator to complete once a week? At least it would be something better than what it sounds like you have.
