Reactive Maintenance

Reactive maintenance is a type of mainmaintenance strategy that involves responding to problems as they arise. It is the opposite of preventive maintenance, which involves taking proactive steps to reduce the likelihood of a problem occurring in the first place. Reactive maintenance is often used when the cost of preventive maintenance is too high or when the potential for failure is low. This type of maintenance strategy can be used in a variety of industries, from manufacturing to transportation. It is important to note that reactive maintenance is not a substitute for preventive maintenance, but rather a complement to it. Reactive maintenance is typically used when a problem has already occurred and needs to be addressed quickly. This type of maintenance can help to reduce downtime and prevent further damage from occurring. Additionally, reactive maintenance can help to identify underlying issues that may have caused the problem in the first place, allowing for more effective preventive maintenance in the future.
