Operation and maintenance

Operation and maintenance refer to the ongoing processes required to ensure a system or facility functions efficiently and reliably. "Operation" involves managing daily activities, monitoring performance, and ensuring that everything runs smoothly according to planned procedures. "Maintenance" includes scheduled checks, repairs, and updates to prevent breakdowns and extend the lifespan of equipment. Together, they sustain optimal performance, safety, and resource efficiency, reducing disruptions and costs. Think of it as the continuous effort to keep machinery, infrastructure, or systems working well, much like maintaining a car to keep it running reliably over time.
