Operations and Maintenance (O+M)
Operations and Maintenance (O+M) refer to the activities involved in ensuring that a system, facility, or equipment functions effectively and remains in good condition over time. Operations include the day-to-day tasks required to keep everything running smoothly, such as monitoring, controlling, and managing processes. Maintenance involves routine inspections, repairs, and replacements to prevent breakdowns and extend the asset’s lifespan. Together, O+M focus on optimizing performance, safety, and reliability while minimizing downtime and costs, ensuring that the system achieves its intended purpose efficiently and sustainably.
