Importance of maintenance management

I have a Honda bike, every day I clean it before I go to college and after coming from college. I change engine oil in each 3 month period. I place the vehicle for servicing at least 3 times in a year. So I got lot of advantages such as my bike is always ready to use, I get a good mileage, no sudden breakdown, safety determine when we come to a manufacturing concern where machine are used to produce goods, the maintenance of each machine are very important. So the maintenance is the process of plains is the machines and equipment in good working condition. The importances of maintenance are discussed under.

  It reduces the cost. An organization that doesn't have a good maintenance policy will realize only when a huge loss is comes after a sudden breakage. A breakdown leads to idle time and payment to workers; interest etc will enrich the cost of production. To repair the equipment from beginning is quite difficult, time consuming and highly expensive. Understanding how to reduce the production cost reflects the entire functions of the organization. Also it reduces the wastage of raw materials. When an organization maintains its machine in a good condition, there will not be destructive products. This will ensure the reduction in the cost due to wastage of raw materials. Today majority of the organization reduces their wastage and with less wastage they convert that into raw material again. When the raw material cost increases, reduced wastage leads to a good advantage to the organization.

  Maintenance management ensures quality of output. The output of every organization determines the acceptance and rejecting of the products. If the output is of bad quality people definitely reject it. Whatever the quality awards the organization gains, a small mistake in the maintenance costs the quality of output. A small defect in a product sometimes leads to cancellation of the entire batch the products produced. Also maintenance management policies bring competitive advantage. Competitive advantages are the advantage one and above the competitor. This can be achieved with the help of good machine and equipment. A good plant and machines ensure a correct timely and quality product which can be used to compete with the competitions. Every organization focuses on the quality, less cost on their product. Once these are achieved they can implement other features over the product there by they achieve competitive advantage.
