THE ADVANTAGES OF PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
The term preventive maintenance commonly refers to the practice of regularly servicing equipment on a pre-determined schedule so that it does not develop catastrophic failures and performs better over its useful lifecycle. Although it is well known that equipment routinely serviced on a pre-determined schedule outlasts equipment that is not, many companies still indulge in the practice of neglecting equipment and/or only responding reactively to equipment failures. This is unfortunate as the preventive maintenance of assets has even greater implications in today’s economy. Preventive maintenance has a number of powerful advantages that make it worth utilizing. Because of these advantages, more and more companies are starting to realize the importance of taking proper care of their equipment.
