Planning
​Preventive & Predictive Maintenance – A well-structured maintenance plan includes both short-term and long-term strategies to minimize failures and maximize equipment reliability.​​
​
-
Short-term preventive maintenance - Involves regular inspections, lubrication, and minor repairs to keep assets running smoothly and prevent immediate breakdowns. These tasks are typically scheduled based on time, usage, or manufacturer recommendations.
-
Long-term predictive maintenance - Uses advanced technologies such as condition monitoring and data analytics to anticipate failures before they happen. By analyzing historical trends and real-time equipment performance, businesses can extend asset lifespan, reduce unexpected failures, and optimize maintenance schedules.
Implementing a balanced preventive and predictive maintenance approach allows businesses to minimize downtime, reduce emergency repairs, and improve overall asset reliability.​​​​
