At the top level, I see maintenance being either preventive or corrective:

  • When we do preventive maintenance we are doing a task before a failure has occurred. That task can be aimed at preventing a failure, minimising the consequence of the failure or assessing the risk of the failure occurring.
  • When we are conducting corrective maintenance the failure has now occurred and we are basically reinstating equipment functionality. To be clear, corrective maintenance can be the result of a deliberate run-to-failure strategy.

Within within the category of preventive maintenance there are several types of maintenance:

  • Time Based Maintenance (TBM)
  • Failure Finding Maintenance (FFM)
  • Risk Based Maintenance (RBM)
  • Condition Based Maintenance (CBM)
  • Predictive Maintenance (PDM)

When it comes to corrective maintenance there are two types:

  • Emergency Maintenance
  • Deferred Maintenance

More detail on these different types of maintenance, when to use them, how to use them can be found in this article: 9 Types of Maintenance | ROAD to RELIABILITY™
