-Maintenance Prevention refers to “design activities carried out during the planning and construction of new equipment, that impart to the equipment high degrees of reliability, maintainability, economy, operability, safety, and flexibility, while considering maintenance information and new technologies, and to thereby reduce maintenance expenses and deterioration losses.”
-Maintenance Prevention is also known as Early Management , Initial Phase Management and Initial Flow Control.
-The basic objective of MP is to minimize the Life Cycle Cost (LCC) of equipment.
-In TPM, the concept of MP design is expanded to include design that aims at achieving not only no breakdowns (reliability) and easy maintenance (maintainability) but also prevention of all possible losses that may hamper production system effectiveness and pursuit of ultimate system improvement.
-MP design should be done so as to satisfy reliability, maintainability, ‘Jishu-Hozen’, operability, resource saving, safety, and flexibility.”
-Expanding the concept of Total Production Manufacturing, Maintenance Prevention applies to the design of equipment layout and facilitization as well as new processes and products (design for manufacturability).
