Preventive Maintenance

Preventive Maintenance is a type of maintenance management strategy that is performed regularly to reduce the likelihood of equipment failure and extend the life of the equipment. It involves regularly scheduled inspections, tests, and repairs to ensure that equipment is functioning properly and safely. PM is designed to identify potential problems before they become serious and costly. It can also help to reduce downtime and improve efficiency. PM typically includes tasks such as lubrication, cleaning, and replacing worn parts. It is an important part of any maintenance program and can help to reduce the cost of repairs and extend the life of equipment.
