Time based maintenance consists
of periodically inspecting, servicing
and cleaning equipment and
replacing parts to prevent sudden
failure and process problems
Reasons for
Maintenance
1. Physical Integrity:
To keep the assets in good working order so as
to minimize disruptions and downtimes.
2. Risk Management:

4. Responsible Stewardship:
To ensure that the assets achieve their full
potential service life.
5. Duty of Care:
To satisfy a legislated duty that is owed to

This is a method in which the service life of important part is predicted based on inspection or
maintenance, predictive maintenance is condition based maintenance. It manages trend values, by
measuring and analysing data about deterioration.
