Preventive Maintenance (PM): Scheduled maintenance tasks performed at regular intervals to prevent unexpected breakdowns and extend equipment life. Examples include regular inspections, oil changes, and system calibrations.
Predictive Maintenance (PdM): Utilizes data and analytics to predict when maintenance should be performed based on equipment condition and performance. Techniques include vibration analysis, thermal imaging, and acoustic monitoring.
Corrective Maintenance: Performed after a failure or malfunction has occurred to restore equipment to its operational state. This plan focuses on fixing problems as they arise.
Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM): Involves monitoring equipment condition in real-time and performing maintenance only when certain indicators show that the equipment is failing or likely to fail soon.
Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM): A systematic approach to determine the most effective maintenance strategies based on the reliability and safety of equipment. It involves analyzing equipment functions, failure modes, and consequences.
Total Productive Maintenance (TPM): A comprehensive approach involving all employees in maintaining and improving equipment performance. It focuses on proactive measures, employee training, and continuous improvement.
Scheduled Maintenance: Regularly scheduled maintenance activities based on time intervals or usage metrics, such as daily, weekly, monthly, or annually. It includes routine checks and replacements.
Emergency Maintenance: Unplanned maintenance that is performed in response to an unexpected breakdown or emergency situation to restore equipment functionality quickly.
Scheduled Inspections: Regular inspections conducted to identify potential issues before they become major problems. These inspections can be visual, auditory, or involve specialized diagnostic tools.
