Keeping devices operational
Machine maintenance is the work done to keep machinery operating properly and to prevent or repair breakdowns.
It encompasses routine tasks like cleaning, lubricating, and inspecting equipment, as well as replacing worn parts before they fail.
Preventive maintenance follows a schedule to avoid problems; corrective maintenance addresses issues after they occur.
The factory shut down for two days of machine maintenance.
Good maintenance extends equipment life and reduces costly downtime.
