    Expound The Difference Between Preventive Maintenance and Corrective Maintenance?

    Uploaded by

    Lexi Barcelon
    Preventive maintenance aims to avoid equipment failures through scheduled maintenance and component replacements, while corrective maintenance is unscheduled repair work only conducted after a failure occurs. Preventive maintenance includes planned tasks like inspections and overhauls to maintain availability and reliability, and may be time-driven or condition-based. Corrective maintenance focuses on emergency and unscheduled repairs to return equipment to working order after malfunctions.

    1.) Expound the difference between preventive maintenance and corrective maintenance?

    The main difference between these two maintenance types is the equipment or
    installation servicing time. In the corrective maintenance type, the operation is done only when
    there is a failure or malfunction recognized, with the intention of returning an item to a state in
    which it can perform a required function. Maintenance interventions include emergency repairs,
    as well as unscheduled repairs based on inspection. While on the other hand, in the preventive, as
    the name indicates, the equipment has maintenance plans to avoid/prevent the most complicated
    breakdowns of equipment. It comprises the replacement of components or overhauling of assets
    at a fixed interval. The aim is to avoid expensive repair and corrective activities resulting from
    premature equipment damage or failure, and that lead to unscheduled downtime. In most cases,
    this approach takes the form of time-driven tasks performed to maintain a level of availability
    and reliability, but it may also be triggered by monitoring conditions.

    2.) Give an example of equipment and tools that need a daily, monthly, and annual
    calibration.
