Preview Questions Maintenance Planner | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: When estimating maintenance costs for rotating equipment in a chemical plant, what factor should be emphasized?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The financial impact of downtime rather than maintenance schedules

The frequency of inspections, lubrication schedules, and the wear rate of components like bearings and seals

The cost of training personnel to handle the equipment

The total cost of spare parts only, excluding labor or time-based considerations

Question 2: How does preventive maintenance influence spare parts management in a chemical plant?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By complicating inventory management with unnecessary parts purchases

By reducing the need for spare parts entirely due to the focus on corrective maintenance

By eliminating the need for spare parts in favor of extended equipment lifespans

By providing a predictable schedule for parts usage, allowing for better inventory planning and management

Question 3: What is the most critical factor when determining the frequency of preventive maintenance tasks for equipment in chemical plants?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The number of employees available to perform maintenance tasks

The total number of machines in the plant and their cost

The manufacturer's recommendations, operational environment, and historical failure data

The plant's production targets and profit margins

Question 4: How can a Maintenance Planner ensure that spare parts inventory is aligned with both the preventive and reactive maintenance needs in a chemical plant?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By reducing the inventory to a bare minimum and ordering on-demand

By developing an integrated inventory strategy that accounts for both scheduled maintenance and unplanned repairs

By focusing only on preventive maintenance parts and ignoring reactive needs

By only considering spare parts based on historical usage without analyzing future needs

Question 5: What role do contingency funds play in cost estimation for high-risk maintenance activities in chemical plants?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Contingency funds should be minimal and not exceed 5% of the estimated cost

Contingency funds are irrelevant and can be excluded from cost estimates

Contingency funds account for unexpected expenses, ensuring that all potential risks are financially covered

Contingency funds are only required for major, non-routine maintenance tasks

Question 6: What is the role of failure mode analysis in the development of maintenance procedures for a chemical plant?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Ignoring failure modes to speed up the procedure development process

Identifying potential failure modes and incorporating corrective actions into maintenance procedures to reduce risks

Focusing solely on preventative maintenance tasks without considering failure risks

Avoiding failure analysis by relying solely on manufacturer guidelines
