Planned Maintenance

What is the definition of a planned maintenance? It is a method of performing maintenance activities at intervals that are predetermined for the purpose of routine inspection, lubrication, replacement, or other maintenance operations. These predetermined intervals are based on the expected life of the equipment and are typically based on the manufacturer’s recommendations. The planned maintenance activities are designed to reduce the risk of breakdowns or premature failure of equipment and to provide for a safe and efficient operation. Planned maintenance also helps to minimize the cost of repairs and maintenance, as well as to improve customer satisfaction. Planned maintenance includes a range of preventative maintenance activities such as lubrication, cleaning, adjustment, and inspection. It also includes corrective or emergency maintenance activities where necessary to prevent or reduce the likelihood of equipment failure. Planned maintenance also extends to components that are not part of the equipment but can affect its performance, such as electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic systems. Planned maintenance activities are intended to ensure that equipment is working safely and efficiently and
