Types of preventative maintenance

Time-based maintenance: This involves scheduling maintenance activities based on a set time
interval. For example, changing the oil in a vehicle every 3 months or replacing air filters every 6 months.

Usage-based maintenance: This involves scheduling maintenance activities based on how much the
equipment has been used. For example, replacing brake pads on a vehicle after it has been driven for a
certain number of miles.

Predictive maintenance: This involves using data analysis and monitoring equipment performance to
predict when maintenance will be required. For example, monitoring the vibration levels of a motor to
predict when it will need to be serviced.

Condition-based maintenance: This involves inspecting equipment to detect any signs of wear and tear
or potential problems. For example, checking the belts on a conveyor system for signs of wear and
replacing them before they break.

Planned maintenance: This involves scheduling maintenance activities in advance to ensure they are
performed at a convenient time and do not interfere with production or operations.

Corrective maintenance: This involves addressing problems or issues as they arise to prevent further
damage or equipment failure. While not technically a preventative maintenance strategy, it can help
prevent future breakdowns if performed promptly and effectively.
