Preventative Maintenance

Preventative maintenance is a type of maintenance that is performed regularly in order to reduce the risk of breakdowns and prolong the life of a machine or system. It is a proactive approach to maintenance, as opposed to reactive maintenance, which is performed only when a problem arises. Preventative maintenance includes tasks such as inspecting, cleaning, lubricating, and adjusting parts and components to ensure that they are in good working order. This type of maintenance can help reduce the need for costly repairs and can extend the life of the machine or system. Additionally, it can help reduce the risk of unexpected downtime, which can have a significant impact on productivity and profitability. In short, preventative maintenance is an important part of any maintenance program and should be taken seriously in order to maximize the life of a machine or system.
