It prioritizes maintenance only when equipment breaks down

It disregards the condition of equipment in favor of fixed schedules

It helps create maintenance schedules based on the actual condition of equipment, optimizing downtime and resources

It eliminates the need for preventive maintenance procedures

Question 2: When allocating resources for preventive maintenance, which factor is most important?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The cost of materials needed for the task

The number of available maintenance staff without regard to expertise

The production schedule, without consideration for equipment health

The operational criticality of the equipment and its maintenance needs based on usage and environment

Question 3: In a chemical plant, how should maintenance planners handle the re-ordering process for spare parts?

Choose only one option

By relying on manual checks to determine when to reorder parts based on a visual inspection

By using an automated inventory system that triggers reordering when parts reach a specified threshold

Question 4: When allocating resources for high-priority emergency maintenance, what should be the Maintenance Planner's primary focus?

Which action should you take?

Question 6: What is the economic order quantity (EOQ), and how does it affect spare parts management in chemical plants?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

EOQ helps calculate the optimal order quantity that minimizes the total cost of ordering and holding inventory

EOQ helps set the price of spare parts but does not affect ordering frequency

EOQ focuses on determining the maximum order size for spare parts regardless of cost

EOQ only applies to raw materials, not spare parts
