Abstract – To Examine the Maintenance of Printing machine so that they can work without any failure for the longer period of time. There are different techniques and methods defined for the threatening to the machines and developed a model for the maintenance of the machine. The Scheduling of the Maintenance is also defined in this paper. Key Words: Breakdown, Machines, Lubrication, Scheduling, Maintenance. 1.INTRODUCTION The problems of maintenance have accompanied and ‘threatened’ the working people ever since the application of equipments. It was experienced from the beginning that equipments could go wrong and machines could break down. Humans have been and still are working on solutions to these problems, so it is not an exaggeration to say that maintenance is the same age as humanity and manufacturing activities. [6]
Maintenance techniques have changed over time from correction (breakdown) to prevention to prediction and proactive continuous improvement. Effective maintenance is a series of progressive steps to improve operational effectiveness and the key step in this process is the transition of pro-active working. Companies that optimize their maintenance select and combine the techniques that match the needs of their equipment and operations. Moving up the maintenance stairway requires a planned approach that brings together the right procedures, tools, training and the knowledge the feature and history of our machines’ breakdowns. [5] Maintenance Management The basic principle of maintenance is to extend the useful life of an asset. A proper Maintenance will improve the production capacity with only existing capacity utilization. Maintenance is usually viewed, as a repair function of maintenance is composite in nature. A wide range of activities are involved in it. In fact maintenance keeps our entire system to be reliable, productive and efficient. There

is no definite maintenance procedure for a particular plant. It varies from one plant to others. Objectives of Maintenance The principal objectives of maintenance activity are as follows. 1.To minimize the breakage and maximize the plant availability 2. To extend the useful life of assets by minimizing wear & tear and deterioration 3. To ensure the operational readiness of all equipment. 4. To ensure the safety of workers. 5. To establish a satisfactory working condition. By systematic maintenance, it is possible to achieve Substantial savings in money, material & manpower. Types of Equipment Maintenance · Restoration Maintenance · Preventive Maintenance · Prediction Maintenance Restoration Maintenance Restoration maintenance, also called repair and corrective maintenance, is the most common maintenance performed. Restoration maintenance consists of repairing a broken or damaged piece of equipment to restore necessary operation conditions. Another part of restoration maintenance includes replacing abnormal or worn parts that are causing films, plates, or production sheets to be out specification. Restoration maintenance is basically a fix-it when-it breaks function, addressing irregular and sudden equipment losses, which are actually unscheduled equipment downtime. Preventive Maintenance Preventive maintenance is naturally carried out before any interruption of production and major breakdown. This maintenance is carried out in predetermined intervals. Preventive maintenance will not only prevent the breakdown, but also it will improve the output quality of the product, and condition of the machine. This preventive maintenance is most successful one, and it is adopted in
