Corrective Maintenance Examples and Definition

https://www.onupkeep.com/learning/maintenance-types/corrective-maintenance

What is corrective maintenance?

Corrective maintenance (also called breakdown maintenance) are maintenance tasks that are
performed in order to rectify and repair faulty systems and equipment. The purpose of corrective
maintenance is to restore broken down systems. §1

Corrective maintenance workflow

Overview
Corrective maintenance is initiated when an additional problem is discovered during a
separate work order. For example, during an emergency repair, as part of a routine
inspection, or in the process of conducting preventive maintenance, a technician spots
another issue that needs corrected before other problems occur. §2

Upon discovering an additional problem, corrective maintenance is planned and scheduled

for a future time. During the execution of corrective maintenance work, the asset is
repaired, restored, or replaced. §3

How corrective maintenance decreases downtime

Think of corrective maintenance as something that gets caught just in time. For example, if
you see that the brake pads in your car are just about worn down but haven’t affected the
rotors yet, you caught them in time. §4

Within the maintenance arena (area), corrective maintenance is triggered when a technician
sees something that is about to break or will affect the overall performance of a piece of
equipment. It can still be repaired or restored without incurring downtime. §5

If corrective maintenance is not scheduled, the problem may become an emergency

maintenance work order down the road and result in halted production lines, interruption in
service, or unhappy customers. §6

Examples of corrective maintenance

Corrective maintenance can include a wide variety of equipment, systems, and situations.

For example, if you are performing preventive maintenance on a line of production

equipment and notice significant wear on a critical part or component, you may initiate a
corrective maintenance order to repair or restore that part within the next month. §7

If you are responding to an emergency request to repair a heating system in the middle of
winter, you may notice that the HVAC system needs filters cleaned or replaced to improve
efficiency and prevent further heat loss. You can restore the heat during the emergency call
but you may schedule the corrective maintenance order to handle the filter issue later. §8

In a public works situation, you may be performing routine roadway repairs when you
notice some signage damage from a recent storm. You can initiate a corrective maintenance
order to restore that signage at a later date. §9
