Machine Maintenance and Engineering SOP
Objective: This Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) outlines the procedures and guidelines for the
effective management and maintenance of machines in accordance with engineering department
standards.
Responsibilities:
* . The Engineering Department is responsible for overseeing and executing the following
activities.
Procedure:
1. All Machines Delay Check and Observing Maintenance:
• Regularly monitor and record any delays or issues in machine operations.
• Conduct routine checks to observe and identify potential maintenance requirements.
2. Preventive Maintenance:
• Implement a preventive maintenance schedule to ensure machines operate efficiently.
• Document and follow preventive maintenance checklists for each machine.
3. Year Planned Maintenance:
• Schedule annual maintenance activities for each machine.
• Coordinate with relevant departments to minimize disruptions during planned
maintenance.
4. Spare Parts Ordering:
• Maintain an up-to-date inventory of spare parts.
• Place orders for spare parts in a timely manner to avoid delays in maintenance activities.
5. Maintaining Spare Parts Inventory:
• Regularly update and review the spare parts inventory.
• Implement a first-in-first-out (FIFO) system for spare parts usage.
6. Energy Saving Projects (Electricity/Steam):
• Identify opportunities for energy-saving projects.
• Implement and monitor projects to reduce energy consumption.
7. New Supportive Machines Design and Fabrication:
• Collaborate with relevant teams to design and fabricate supportive machines.
• Ensure the new machines meet safety and operational standards.
8. Mechanical and Electrical Workshops:
• Maintain organized and well-equipped mechanical and electrical workshops.
• Conduct regular safety inspections in workshops.
9. Used Spare Parts Repairs to Cost Saving and In-House Spare Parts Producing:
• Evaluate the feasibility of repairing used spare parts.
• Explore in-house production of spare parts when economically viable.
10.New Machinery Installation:
• Plan and execute the installation of new machinery.
• Ensure installations meet safety and operational guidelines.
11.Working According to the Engineering Department Annual Budget:
• Adhere to the annual budget allocated to the engineering department.
• Provide regular financial updates and justification for budgetary needs.
12.Upgrade Machines to Safety Requirements:
• Regularly assess machines for compliance with safety standards.
• Plan and implement upgrades to meet safety requirements.
13.Document Control:
• Maintain detailed records of all maintenance activities, installations, and upgrades.
• Periodically review and update this SOP as needed.
