In the world of maintenance, the terminology for maintenance strategies is often inconsistent. Different sources – technical literature, companies, experts, and international standards – use their own definitions, which sometimes leads to confusion.
As a result, terms such as Preventive Maintenance, Predictive Maintenance, Breakdown Maintenance, or Time-Based Maintenance are sometimes used interchangeably or incorrectly. This confusion is further complicated by translations into other languages.
🎯 In this video, I clarify these terms and present a clear classification of maintenance strategies based on Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM).
You’ll learn:
✔️ The main types of maintenance – reactive and proactive,
✔️ Key subcategories, such as time-based, usage-based, condition-based, and prescriptive maintenance,
✔️ How to match the right maintenance strategy to the actual needs of your plant.
