Difference between Preventive maintenance, Predictive maintenance and Corrective
maintenance are given below:
Preventive maintenance Predictive maintenance Corrective maintenance 1. Preventive 1. Predictive 1. Corrective maintenance is maintenance measures are maintenance is maintenance that only performed after planned and performed on monitors the performance and equipment failures or equipment with the purpose condition of equipment during breakdowns are reported. of ensuring that failures do normal operation to reduce the not occur and to lessen the likelihood of failures. consequences of breakdowns. 2.

undergoes regular data, you can analyze your a manufacturing inspections that include a machine’s health over a set time maintenance environment diagnostic test to determine to determine what predictive fails. This results in if parts should be replaced. maintenance is needed to reduce unexpected downtime and downtime or failures. immediate repairs are done Using sensors to monitor pieces to restore production of equipment critical to your capability production can automatically create work orders based on triggers. Equipment that becomes unexpectedly overheated can compromise operations and result in unexpected delays, additional costs, and customer disappointment.
