maintenance schedules
Planned repair calendars
Maintenance schedules are planned timetables for servicing equipment, vehicles, or systems to prevent breakdowns and extend useful life.
They specify when to perform inspections, replacements, or repairs—often based on time intervals or usage thresholds: The maintenance schedule calls for an oil change every 5,000 miles.
Following a maintenance schedule catches small problems before they become expensive failures.
