Corrective Maintenance

Corrective Maintenance

Corrective Maintenance is a type of maintenance that is performed after a failure or breakdown has occurred. It is used to restore a system or component to its original working condition. It is typically performed on equipment that has been damaged or has malfunctioned due to wear and tear, improper operation, or a lack of preventive maintenance. Corrective maintenance is often more expensive than preventive maintenance, as it requires more time and resources to repair the system or component. It is important to note that corrective maintenance should not be used as a substitute for preventive maintenance, as it does not address the root cause of the problem and can lead to further breakdowns.
