Abstract: We have all seen the television commercial that states, Pay me now, or pay me later. Unfortunately this concept carries over to many different facets of life, one of which involves our daily operations. We have seen that lack of preventive maintenance on any mechanical apparatus can lead to the death of that machine. We have a choice: does PM represent Preventive Maintenance or Postmortem? Do we maintain that equipment and benefit from the intended performance, or do we wait until the machine is dead and try to revive it? Our experience with fusion equipment, as well as other special purpose equipment we manufacture, has shown us that improperly maintained equipment will require overhaul maintenance from 6 to 10 times earlier than a properly maintained one. This figure can probably be used for most pieces of equipment that we use. However, this paper will use bult fusion equipment as the example.
