Frequently Asked Questions
Corrective maintenance refers to the set of actions taken after equipment failure to restore them to operational status.
Corrective maintenance is usually suitable for equipment with low failure costs, low failure frequency, and whose failure does not affect safety and production.
Low initial cost, ease of implementation, and no need for planning are the main advantages of corrective maintenance.
Sudden stoppages, high costs in the long run, reduced equipment lifespan, and increased safety hazards are the main disadvantages of corrective maintenance.
Corrective maintenance can be improved by implementing root cause analysis, standardizing repair methods, optimizing spare parts inventory, and using CMMS software.
