Breakdown Maintenance

Run-to-failure strategy in which repair is performed only after equipment stops performing its required function.

Examples

01For cheap desk fans in the office, breakdown maintenance is the right choice: they are simply replaced when they fail.
02The maintenance review checks that breakdown maintenance is only used on assets where failure has no safety or production impact.
03When a pump run under breakdown maintenance fails three times in a year and stops production, it is moved to a preventive plan.
