Types of Machine Maintenance

What is reactive maintenance?

• Repairs done when a machine has already reached failure.

• A deliberate choice to let equipment run until it breaks down.

• Basic maintenance tasks such as checking and lubricating.

• Work that gets assets back into proper working order.

What does run to fail maintenance involve?

• Letting a piece of equipment run until it breaks down.

• Regularly scheduled service and routine checks.

• Repairs done when a machine has already reached failure.

• Basic maintenance tasks such as checking and lubricating.

What is the purpose of routine maintenance?

• To perform basic maintenance tasks on a planned basis.

• To repair machines after they have failed.

• To monitor the actual condition of assets.

• To automate the maintenance process using AI.

What is preventive maintenance intended to do?

• Identify problems and repair them before failure occurs.

• Let equipment run until it breaks down.

• Fix a problem before a complete failure occurs.

• Monitor the actual condition of assets.

What does condition-based maintenance depend on?

• Monitoring the actual condition of assets.

• Scheduled maintenance tasks.

• Repairs done when a machine has already reached failure.

• Automating the maintenance process.

What is predictive maintenance?

• Using tools and sensors to track machinery performance.

• Letting a piece of equipment run until it breaks down.

• Basic maintenance tasks performed on a planned basis.

• Repairs done when a machine has already reached failure.

What does prescriptive maintenance automate?

• The maintenance process using machine learning and AI.

• Basic maintenance tasks such as checking and lubricating.

• Repairs done when a machine has already reached failure.

• Monitoring the actual condition of assets.

What are the four main areas to focus on to improve machine maintenance?

• Planning, Precision, Protection, Measurement.

• Reactive, Routine, Preventive, Predictive.

• Condition-based, Prescriptive, Corrective, Routine.

• Scheduled, Unscheduled, Emergency, Predictive.
