Preventive Maintenance
Preventive Maintenance involves proactive tasks like lubrication, part replacements, and calibration based on time or usage, aimed at extending asset life and increasing safety.
Key Aspects of Preventive Maintenance Services
Proactive Scheduling: Performed regularly (e.g., daily, monthly, or based on cycles) rather than after a breakdown.
Core Activities: Inspection, cleaning, lubricating, repairing, and replacing components.
Strategies: Includes Time-based (TBM), Usage-based (UBM), and Condition-based (CBM) maintenance.
Documentation: Involves keeping meticulous records of past services and inspections.
Tools: Often uses Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) software to track, schedule, and assign tasks.
