Preventive and predictive maintenance are carried out so that the life of the assets can be increased and the chances of their failure can be reduced. The main difference between preventive and predictive maintenance is that preventive maintenance has a regular schedule while predictive maintenance is carried out on the basis of the condition of assets. Preventive Maintenance Preventive maintenance is a process in which an annual physical check-up of the assets is done. The maintenance task is conducted to know whether everything is running correctly or not. This maintenance helps in the prevention of breakdowns in the future. Preventive ...
