Building Maintenance Preventive Maintenance Vs. Corrective Maintenance | Page 2

MANY MAINTENANCE MANAGERS STILL SPEND MOST OF THEIR TIME AND RESOURCES ON
CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE, IGNORING THE BENEFITS THAT PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CAN
BRING.
ALTHOUGH THE CONCEPTS OF CORRECTIVE AND PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE ARE PART OF THE
DAY-TO-DAY OF A MAINTENANCE MANAGER, MANY STILL FACE THE PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
AS AN UNNECESSARY ADDITIONAL COST, WHICH IS NOT TRUE. IN FACT, PREVENTIVE
MAINTENANCE, WHEN WELL PLANNED CAN EXTENSIVELY REDUCE THE OVERALL MAINTENANCE
COSTS AND INCREASE THE PRODUCTIVITY OF EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES.
