Preview Questions Maintenance Planner | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: How can a Maintenance Planner accurately estimate costs for outsourced maintenance services in a chemical plant?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By obtaining detailed quotes from multiple contractors, including labor rates, equipment, and materials costs

By accepting the first quote from a contractor to speed up the procurement process

By assuming the lowest possible cost without considering the quality or scope of work

By focusing solely on the equipment being serviced and ignoring the service provider's overheads

Question 2: How should a Maintenance Planner approach the development of procedures for equipment that operates under varying loads and pressures?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By creating flexible procedures that allow for adjustments based on real-time monitoring and operational parameters

By eliminating operational condition considerations and focusing on standard procedures

By reducing the number of checks to simplify the procedure for high-pressure systems

By developing one fixed procedure regardless of operational conditions

Question 3: What role does predictive maintenance play in preventive maintenance scheduling in chemical plants?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Predictive maintenance replaces preventive maintenance by waiting for failures

Predictive maintenance only applies to electrical systems and not chemical processes

Predictive maintenance increases downtime by relying on sensors that often fail

Predictive maintenance complements preventive maintenance by using data to predict failures and optimize scheduling

Question 4: What is the primary benefit of implementing a just-in-time (JIT) inventory system for spare parts management in chemical plants?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Ensuring an excess supply of spare parts to avoid shortages

Focusing only on long-term maintenance planning rather than daily operations

Reducing inventory costs while ensuring the availability of critical parts when needed

Minimizing storage space and managing high-value parts

Question 5: What is the first step in resource allocation for preventive maintenance in a chemical plant?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Identifying critical equipment and assigning maintenance priorities based on risk and impact

Allocating resources based on availability without considering criticality

Focusing solely on cost-saving measures without considering downtime impact

Scheduling maintenance based on employee shifts rather than equipment needs

Question 6: What is the role of service level agreements (SLAs) with suppliers in spare parts management for petrochemical plants?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

SLAs are irrelevant for spare parts management as the supplier is responsible for all aspects

SLAs are used solely to reduce the cost of spare parts, without any performance standards

SLAs define the expected delivery timelines, quality standards, and penalties for non-compliance, ensuring reliable spare parts supply

SLAs only define pricing terms, not delivery or quality expectations
