Preventive Maintenance

Preventive Maintenance is defined as the systematic performance of routine tasks—such as inspections, cleaning, and repairs - designed to keep equipment and assets in optimal working condition. The primary goal of these proactive measures is to prevent unexpected breakdowns and address minor wear and tear before they become significant operational issues.

Key Details:

  • System Category: This function is managed within the Maintenance module, which includes specific sections for PM Types, Configurations, and Schedules
  • Task Classification: Each “Preventive Maintenance Type” specifies the exact work required, ranging from simple cleaning to complex part replacements.
  • Customization: Users can configure the system to define maintenance requirements for various assets, set intervals for routine checks, assign responsibilities to specific team members, and outline mandatory procedures.
  • Timetables: The system utilizes a “Preventive Maintenance Schedule” to act as a planned timetable, ensuring all servicing and inspections are carried out at predefined intervals.

Use Case Example

A rental company manages a fleet of forklifts and sets up a Preventive Maintenance Configuration to ensure safety and longevity. They create a Preventive Maintenance Schedule that triggers a “Hydraulic System Check” every six months. When the interval is reached, the system automatically notifies the maintenance team to perform the inspection, ensuring the forklift is in good working condition before its next rental.
