1. Overview of Ship Planned Maintenance System (PMS)
Purpose:
To provide a structured and automated system for tracking and managing maintenance activities on board ships.
Key Features:
- Standardized maintenance procedures
- Equipment and component tracking
- Maintenance intervals based on calendar or running hours
- Historical maintenance data logging
Benefits:
- Ensures compliance with class and regulatory requirements
- Improves safety and reliability of vessel operations
- Helps in budgeting and spare parts planning
2. Equipment and Component Hierarchy in PMS
Structure:
- Ship → System → Equipment → Components
- Each component can have multiple tasks associated with it
- Hierarchical relation allows for easy tracking and reporting
Example:
- Ship: MV ABCD
- System: Engine Room
- Equipment: Main Engine
- Component: Fuel Injection Pump
3. Maintenance Task Types and Frequencies
Types of Tasks:
- Preventive Maintenance (based on time or usage)
- Corrective Maintenance (after a fault occurs)
- Condition-Based Maintenance (based on inspections)
- Task Frequency Examples:
- Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly
- Every 250 Running Hours
Task Elements:
- Task ID and Title
- Procedure Description
- Tools and Spare Parts Required
- Safety Notes
- Checklists
4. Spare Parts and Inventory Integration
Purpose:
To ensure that required spare parts are available for scheduled maintenance tasks.
Integration Points:
- Each component can have linked spare parts
- Minimum stock levels can trigger reordering
- Consumption is logged per task
Benefits:
- Reduces downtime
- Enables cost-effective inventory management
- Links maintenance to purchasing workflow
5. Reporting and Recordkeeping
Core Reports:
- Maintenance Due List
- Task Completion History
- Running Hours Log
- Spare Parts Consumption
Compliance:
- Supports class inspections and audits
- Maintains historical logs of all performed tasks
- Allows attachments (photos, certificates, logsheets)
Digital Records Include:
- Completed Tasks with Date and Personnel
- Remarks and Deviation Notes
- Evidence of Maintenance (PDFs, images)
