Preventive maintenance

Preventive maintenance is a proactive approach to keeping equipment, machinery, and facilities in good working condition by performing regular inspections, routine tasks, and scheduled repairs. Its primary goal is to prevent equipment failures, minimize downtime, and extend the lifespan of assets.
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
Proactive Approach:
Unlike reactive maintenance, which addresses issues after they arise, preventive maintenance focuses on identifying and addressing potential problems before they become major issues.
Scheduled Tasks:
Preventive maintenance involves setting regular schedules for inspections, servicing, and repairs based on time intervals or usage thresholds.
Routine Activities:
These activities often include tasks like cleaning, lubrication, replacement of worn parts, and other maintenance procedures designed to keep equipment running smoothly.
Benefits:
Preventive maintenance helps reduce unexpected breakdowns, minimize costly repairs, optimize equipment lifespan, and ensure smooth operations.
