Maintenance

Maintenance refers to the process of preserving or keeping something in a state of efficiency, effectiveness, and good condition. It involves regular actions taken to prevent deterioration, ensure proper functioning, and extend the life of equipment, systems, or structures. Maintenance can be categorized into various types, including preventive maintenance (scheduled upkeep to prevent issues), corrective maintenance (repairs made after a failure occurs), and predictive maintenance (using data to predict and address potential failures before they happen). The goal of maintenance is to minimize downtime, enhance reliability, and ensure safety in operations across various fields, such as engineering, IT, and facility management.
