MCO (maintenance in operational condition)

MCO, or Maintenance in Operational Condition, refers to the process of ensuring equipment, machinery, or systems are kept in optimal working order while actively in use. It involves scheduled inspections, repairs, and adjustments to prevent failures and maintain safety and efficiency. The goal is to ensure that operational assets function reliably during their service life, minimizing downtime and extending their operational usefulness. Essentially, MCO is the ongoing effort to keep equipment in peak condition while it is actively being used for its intended purpose.
