Periodic Factory Maintenance Process from A to Z: Methodical and Professional

In the manufacturing industry, a factory is not only a place that houses machinery and equipment, but also the foundation for continuous and efficient business operations. However, without regular and proper maintenance, a factory can quickly deteriorate, cause production interruptions, compromise workplace safety, and lead to high repair costs. So what are the steps in a professional factory maintenance process? What should be considered when choosing a maintenance provider? Let TECO walk you through the details in the article below.

How many steps are there in the factory maintenance process? 

All You Need to Know About Periodic Factory Maintenance for Businesses

A proper factory maintenance process not only helps extend the lifespan of buildings and equipment, but also minimizes production risks and optimizes operational costs for businesses. Below is the periodic factory maintenance process from A to Z according to the professional standards applied by TECO:

What does the process include?

1. Inspect the Current Condition of the Facility

The technical team conducts a comprehensive inspection of the entire factory: roof, floor, steel/concrete structure, electrical systems, water supply and drainage, fire protection, HVAC, surveillance cameras, lighting, signage, etc.
They record the current status, assess the level of damage or deterioration, and identify potential risks.
Maintenance priorities are proposed for each item, helping businesses plan their budgets accordingly.

2. Develop a Detailed Maintenance Plan

Based on the inspection results, TECO develops a periodic maintenance plan (monthly/quarterly/annually) with specific timelines.
Clearly define each task, construction method, materials to be used, and execution time.
Ensure that the maintenance schedule does not disrupt the business’s production activities.

3. Perform Maintenance by Category

The following are commonly performed items in the factory maintenance process:

• Structural System – Roofing: check for deflection, rust, cracks; fix leaks, reinforce bolts, replace damaged metal sheets.

• Electrical System – Lighting: inspect electrical cabinets, wiring, switchgear; replace bulbs, maintain pumps and electric motors.

• Water Supply –  Drainage System: unclog pipes, inspect valves and water pumps, fix leaks, and improve water pressure.

• Fire Protection System: inspect fire pumps, sprinklers, valves, piping, extinguishers, and the automatic fire alarm system.

• Security Cameras – Surveillance System: clean lenses, check signal quality, connections, and data storage capability.

• Signage – Safety Warnings –  Directional Boards: check durability, update information, and replace damaged or outdated signs.

• Waterproofing –  Leak Prevention: fix leaks and wall/roof cracks using specialized materials, especially in restrooms.

• Factory Landscaping – Greenery: care for plants, plant new trees, install automatic irrigation systems.

4. Report Results and Handover

After completing each task, TECO prepares a detailed report: before-and-after condition, photo documentation, materials used, and time taken.
Handover to the business representative and note any suggestions for future maintenance rounds.

5. Follow-Up – Scheduled Maintenance Reminders

TECO’s management system automatically stores technical records and sends reminders for the next scheduled maintenance of each item.
This helps businesses avoid missing important maintenance periods and ensures the facility remains in optimal condition.
