maintenance practices

Maintenance practices involve regularly inspecting, servicing, and repairing equipment or facilities to ensure they operate efficiently and safely. This includes scheduled tasks like cleaning, lubrication, and parts replacement, as well as addressing unexpected issues promptly. Proper maintenance helps prevent breakdowns, prolongs the life of assets, and reduces long-term costs. It can be planned (preventive), reactive (corrective after a problem occurs), or predictive (using sensors and data to predict when maintenance is needed). Overall, effective maintenance keeps systems reliable, safe, and cost-effective.
