Keeping machines working
Machinery maintenance is the work of keeping machines in good operating condition—inspecting, cleaning, repairing, and replacing parts before they fail.
Regular maintenance extends equipment life and prevents costly breakdowns: The factory schedules machinery maintenance during off-peak hours.
The term covers everything from oiling hinges to overhauling engines.
