Looking for a solution?

Preventive maintenance is planned work performed at set time intervals or after a defined amount of use to reduce the chance of equipment failure. Tasks may include inspection, cleaning, lubrication, adjustment and replacement of wear parts. The schedule should reflect asset criticality, operating conditions and maintenance history; performing work too early can also add cost. It differs from predictive maintenance, which uses condition data to estimate when service is needed.
