Breakdown Maintenance

Breakdown Maintenance is a type of maintenance operation that is used to repair or replace equipment that has failed or broken down. It is a reactive approach to maintenance, as it is only carried out when a problem has already occurred. Breakdown maintenance is typically used when the cost of preventive maintenance is too high or when the equipment is too complex to be maintained on a regular basis. It is also used when the equipment is not critical to the operation of the facility. When applied to more complex and critical assets, breakdown maintenance is typically more expensive than preventive maintenance, as it requires more labor and materials to repair the equipment. Additionally, it can lead to increased downtime and decreased productivity. Breakdown maintenance is also referred to as corrective or reactive maintenance.
