Introduction
Facility maintenance is an important part of owning a business. What’s more, you’ve probably read about how the upkeep and the general health of your property could have a significant impact on your bottom line. But what are some of the differences between preventive facility maintenance and reactive facility maintenance?
What is Reactive Maintenance?
Preventive maintenance is done in order to prevent any potential breakdowns from occurring. It is performed in a regular, systematic manner. Upon completion, the process will identify any future concerns and make necessary repairs before they become an issue.
What is Reactive Maintenance?
Reactive maintenance is performed when something has already broken down. It typically takes more time to perform than preventive maintenance and more money as well because it includes repairing the issue that has already occurred.
When should you do Preventive Maintenance?
Preventive maintenance can be done to prevent repairs and breakdowns that are typically expensive. The key is to find problems before they happen. If you see warning signs such as a leak, then you should get the leaks fixed right away. You can also do preventative maintenance on your vehicle by bringing it in on a regular basis for maintenance.
When should you do Reactive Maintenance?
Reactive maintenance is a response to a breakdown in equipment. For example, if your air conditioner breaks, you have to repair it before continuing to use it.
Who needs to do the maintenance and when?
Preventive maintenance is needed to keep your car running smoothly. It includes checks like fluid changes and tire rotations. Reactive maintenance repairs damages such as a flat tire that has just happened. If you don’t do preventive maintenance, small problems can turn into big ones.
Conclusion
– Structural wear is a natural part of the equipment lifespan.
– Preventive maintenance can cost a lot less than reactive maintenance and might never be needed.
– There are two types of preventive maintenance, corrective and scheduled.
– Regular inspections help identify wear and tear so that repairs can be made in the near future.
– Techniques like lubrication and cleaning are examples of preventive maintenance that can extend
equipment life cycles.
– Reactive maintenance is required when something has already failed or been broken.
– Preventive maintenance can also be considered a type of reactive maintenance if something has
already failed and it’s being repaired as soon as possible to avoid more failures or damage in the
future.
– Regular inspections help identify wear so that repairs can be made in the near future before they
