STUDY ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PLAN PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE IN HVAC BY FACILITIES MANAGEMENT

Abstract

Effective maintenance can help to minimize the effects of failure and extend the system's life. Preventative maintenance (PM) was developed in the 1950s and is an alternative to corrective maintenance (CM). Facilities management (FM) an essential strategy to operating, maintaining, improving, and adapting an organization's buildings. Maintenance activities can predict the amount of damage to facilities and infrastructure. Poor heating ventilation air conditioning (HVAC) system operation or failure can result in insufficient ventilation, which can contribute to Sick Building Syndrome (SBS). The main objective of this study is to identify the factors requisite for the implementation of plan preventive maintenance(PPM) in HVAC. This research study will be use the abductive (mixed method) in the form of qualitative approach and supported with qualitative approach. The instruments also will use in this study questionnaire and semi-structured interviews for data collection. Thus, the findings have found that the factors that affecting the effectiveness of PPM in HVAC by FM depends on skilled labour, spare part and material, maintenance and failure downtime, maintenance performance and predetermined intervals maintenance.
