Dedicated to the maintenance industry we include all types of preventive maintenance tasks to download. It has been well documented that preventive maintenance leads to a reduction in plant downtime and an increase in equipment service life. However, full preventive maintenance programmes can be costly and complex and this has deterred many company’s from making the switch from a maintenance regime based on dealing with breakdowns (reactive maintenance) into one based on preventing them. We can assist you to set up your own maintenance task sheet along with method statements and risk assessments.

Maintenance is an industry term that is used to describe preventive maintenance in manufacturing.

Preventive maintenance (PM) has the following meanings:

1. The care and servicing by personnel for the purpose of maintaining equipment and facilities in satisfactory operating condition by providing for systematic inspection, detection, and correction of incipient failures either before they occur or before they develop into major defects.
2. Maintenance, including tests, measurements, adjustments, and parts replacement, performed specifically to prevent faults from occurring.

While preventive maintenance is generally considered to be worthwhile, it is important to note that there are risks such as equipment failure or human error involved when performing PM, just as in any maintenance operation. PM is also sometimes augmented by reliability centered maintenance, which attempts to determine the best PM tasks, and by predictive maintenance, which models past behavior to predict failures.
