FO preventive plans begin with inventory
Staff Writer
By TIMOTHY TANKARD
In an attempt to ease the mounting burden of needed repairs that a growing university has placed on maintenance and repair services, Facilities Operations has begun an inventory of machinery and equipment in KU buildings.
The inventory is being conducted by a new department, preventive maintenance, established in January as a troubleshooting unit, the regular maintenance departments.
Harry Kreider, preventive maintenance supervisor, said that all Facilities Operations equipment and machinery in KU buildings, such as air conditioners, air compressors, steam systems and water tanks, are maintained and serviced on a building-to-building basis.
"Our aim is to create a file for each business that will use machinery in that building, tell what condition it is in, how often it should be serviced and when replacement parts could be provided."
KREIDER SAID it probably would take at least two years to complete the inventory.
Besides Kreider, the preventive maintenance department consists of four tradesman: a plumber, an electrician, a steamerfitter and an air conditioner mechanic. They have been conducting the inventories on weekends and at nights.
“These guys also handle any emergency repairs we get during those hours,” Kreider said. So sometimes it’s hard to keep a person quiet, but because we’re always getting interrupted.”
The tradesman were hired in January, but Kreider said it took about six weeks to familiarize them with the campus before they could effectively begin work.
Kreider said the inventory file eventually would be stored in a computer. When a machine needs servicing, the computer will be programmed to print its file, which states all the information the worker will need to know to service it.
Richard Perkins, Facilities Operations assistant director, said that they had been trying to establish a preventive maintenance program for more than 25 years but that it was not until last fall that the funding was approved for it.
"In the past we have had what I would call a break-down maintenance system here," Perkins said. "But our aim is to start getting the equipment before it stops working."
Thomas said the preventive maintenance inventory did not include the structure of a building.
However, he said that it eventually would

be extended to the campus buildings themselves, troubleshooting potential problems with doors, windows and structural defects.
IDEALLY, WHEN THE inventory is complete, Facilities Operations will have a central file on every machine on campus and a regular servicing schedule that will ensure that the machines are kept in top operating condition.
"Already the inventory has been helpful in uncovering problems we normally would never have found out about until it was too late," Perkins said.

THE OPTIMUM MOMENT.
Mountaineering is a skill of timing as well as tech-
Mountaineering is a of timing as well as tnique. The wrong moment, like the wrong method, marks the gap between amateur and affluence. So the
key to successful mountaineering is to choose the occasions wisely and well. When, then, is it appropriate to slowly quaff the smooth, refreshing mountains of Busch Beer?
Celebrations, of course are both expected and excellent opportunities to test your mountaineering mettle. Indeed, on major holidays it is virtually

Similarly, the ambience of an athletic afternoon (e.g. The Big Game) is another ideal moment. Downing the mountains elevates the morale of the fan and hence, the team. Therefore, if you care at all about the outcome, it is your duty to mountaineer
