What is the primary goal of a preventive maintenance program?
Answer: Reduce failure probability through scheduled interventions
Preventive maintenance aims to reduce the probability of failure by performing scheduled tasks such as lubrication, inspection, and part replacement at fixed intervals.
Which analysis technique identifies the root causes of equipment failures using a diagram shaped like a fish skeleton?
Answer: Ishikawa (fishbone) diagram
The Ishikawa (fishbone or cause-and-effect) diagram visually maps potential root causes of a failure across categories like people, process, equipment, and environment.
MTTR in reliability management stands for:
Answer: Mean Time To Repair
MTTR (Mean Time To Repair) measures the average time required to restore a failed asset to full operational status.
Which type of maintenance task is best suited for assets whose failure mode follows a random failure pattern?
Answer: Condition-based monitoring
For assets with random failure patterns, condition-based monitoring is most effective because time-based intervals cannot predict when a random failure will occur.
A maintenance backlog in asset management refers to:
Answer: Approved maintenance work not yet completed
A maintenance backlog is the accumulation of approved and prioritized work orders that have been identified but not yet executed.
Which standard is most commonly referenced for physical asset management systems, including maintenance?
Answer: ISO 55001
