Periodic and Preventive Maintenance Scheduling Practice Exam

About Periodic and Preventive Maintenance Scheduling
Preventive Maintenance is a type of planned maintenance where periodic maintenance actions are performed on equipment regardless of its current operating condition, aiming to avoid the occurrence of failures and to mitigate the consequences of equipment breakdowns.

Preventive maintenance (or preventative maintenance) is maintenance that is regularly performed on a piece of equipment to lessen the likelihood of it failing. It is performed while the equipment is still working so that it does not break down unexpectedly. In terms of the complexity of this maintenance strategy, it falls between reactive (or run-to-failure) maintenance and predictive maintenance.

Why is Periodic and Preventive Maintenance Scheduling important?
Better conservation of assets and increased life expectancy of assets, thereby eliminating premature replacement of machinery and equipment. Reduced overtime costs and more economical use of maintenance workers due to working on a scheduled basis instead of a crash basis to repair breakdowns.
