Reactive Maintenance
Reactive Maintenance is a type of maintenance strategy that focuses on responding to equipment failures and breakdowns as they occur. Reactive maintenance is typically used when the cost of preventive maintenance is too high or when the equipment is too complex to predict when it will fail. It involves responding to equipment failures and breakdowns as they occur, and then repairing or replacing the equipment as needed. Reactive maintenance can be costly, as it often requires emergency repairs and replacement parts. It can also lead to increased downtime and decreased productivity. However, it can be an effective approach for non-critical, lower costing assets where run-to-fail is a viable option and preventive maintenance is not worth the time and effort.
