Maintenance management
Maintenance management is about planning and overseeing the upkeep of physical assets anything from heating systems to lifts or factory machinery. It's a structured way to avoid costly failures, improve asset performance and keep operations running smoothly.
Why it matters
-
Cut downtime – Keep critical assets working and avoid unexpected delays
-
Extend asset life – Prevent early breakdowns with regular servicing
-
Lower costs – Reduce emergency repairs and make better use of resources
-
Stay compliant – Meet legal safety standards and avoid fines
-
Improve sustainability – Well-maintained equipment uses less energy and lasts longer
Types of maintenance
-
Planned – Scheduled checks and servicing to avoid issues
-
Reactive – Fixing things once they've failed
-
Predictive – Using sensor data to catch problems early
-
Condition-based – Triggering maintenance based on real-time asset data
