Definition of Maintenance
“At a car dealership, the person who sells the car is the hero, and also gets the
commission. But if the mechanics don't service that car well, the customer
won't return.” Roger Staubach
There is a life span for every equipment and this equipment must be put in
to use maximally within this time framework to justify the fund expended
on it’s acquisition.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Preventive Maintenance is defined as an art or method of
carrying out maintenance work on equipment to prevent
breakdown of the equipment and cause down time.
It is a systematic inspection, detection, correction and
prevention of incipient failures before they become actual or
major failures.
