Preventive Maintenance (PM) is the regular and routine maintenance of equipment and assets to keep them running and avoid costly unplanned downtime due to unexpected equipment failures. Examples of preventive maintenance include equipment inspections, cleaning and lubricating critical equipment, and tidying the production floor.

Maintenance software: Frequently asked questions
What is preventive maintenance?
What is maintenance management?
Maintenance management comprises all operational measures to prevent machine failures and increase plant availability. At the same time, maintenance measures ensure optimized operating processes and increased operational reliability.
Can maintenance orders be emailed to my team?
Work orders get automatically assigned to the respective maintenance team member within the Operations1 software. Therefore, workers don’t need to switch systems any longer between planning, execution and reporting. Work planning can be conducted within Operations1 or through integration with other systems such as the ERP System or MES.
What is in a maintenance plan?
Maintenance teams use a maintenance plan to ensure that maintenance activities are carried out properly and at the right time in order to keep overall equipment effectiveness high and spare parts and personnel costs low. Maintenance planning can be time-based, cycle-based or condition-based.
Why is maintenance planning important?
Suboptimal maintenance planning often results in so-called over-maintenance or under-maintenance. With over-maintenance, maintenance capacities are scheduled unnecessarily, expensive spare parts and operating resources are consumed, and valuable production time is wasted. Insufficient maintenance can lead to unnecessary wear, resulting in unplanned production downtime and time-consuming and expensive temporary repairs. This in turn disrupted the entire production schedule and resulted in enormous costs.
