About this document
Preventive vs. Corrective Maintenance Explained by Lexi Barcelon is a document available to read on EtoBox.
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.
