Reactive maintenance (breakdown maintenance)<\/h3>\n<p>Also known as breakdown or <a href=\"\/maintenance-strategies\/run-to-failure-maintenance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">run-to-failure<\/a>, reactive maintenance is pretty simple: fix things when they break.

If servicing it every three months extends its life by 10%, you&#8217;d save $100. But how much effort should you invest in such a non-essential machine? Ideally, minimal. <\/p>\n<p>While reactive maintenance needs little planning, its pitfalls can be major if mismanaged. Applying it universally can lead to production halts when crucial equipment breaks down. Without immediate access to necessary parts, expedited shipping costs can skyrocket. In essence, non-strategic reactive maintenance can result in increased downtime and steeper maintenance expenses. <\/p>\n<figure>\n  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Reactive-chart.png\" alt=\"Pros and cons of reactive maintenance chart\" style=\"margin-bottom:60px\"><br \/>\n<\/figure>\n<div class=\"blog-cta-container\">\n<h2>What\u2019s the perfect amount of reactive maintenance?<\/h2>\n<p><a class=\"track\" href=\"https:\/\/resources.fiixsoftware.com\/condition-based\/comparing-different-strategies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Get the answer here<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3 id=\"pm\">2. Preventive maintenance (scheduled)<\/h3>\n<p>Often termed as <a href=\"\/maintenance-strategies\/preventative-maintenance\/\">proactive maintenance<\/a>, this approach entails periodically pausing the operation of assets for inspections or repairs based on set intervals, either time-based or event driven. The main objective here is to enhance the asset&#8217;s lifespan and ward off potential malfunctions. <\/p>\n<p>Many enterprises harness the power of <a href=\"\/cmms\/cmms-software\/\">CMMS software<\/a> to initiate work orders when maintenance is due. This offers automation to their scheduling process\u2014a cornerstone of this preventive strategy. With proactive planning, ensuring the availability of necessary parts and resources becomes streamlined. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lp.fiixsoftware.com\/short-guide-to-pm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/GuideToPM_BlogCTA.png\" alt=\"The short guide to preventive maintenance: Get your free guide now\" width=\"617\" height=\"162\" class=\"wp-image-170482 size-full aligncenter\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>However, like every maintenance strategy, preventive maintenance isn\u2019t devoid of challenges. Without consistent oversight and updates, one might face &#8220;PM creep&#8221;\u2014a situation where technicians are overwhelmed with redundant tasks, thereby draining organizational resources. <\/p>\n<p>Overdoing preventive tasks might also pave the way for breakdowns after the maintenance. While there are strategies to counter this, the risk amplifies with increasing frequency of PMs. The essence is, when implementing a <a href=\"\/blog\/building-an-effective-preventive-maintenance-program\/\">preventive maintenance program<\/a>, it&#8217;s essential to dovetail it with continuous PM optimization.<\/p>\n<figure>\n  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Preventive-chart.png\" alt=\"Pros and cons of preventive maintenance chart\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\"><br \/>\n<\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"pdm\">3. Predictive maintenance (PdM)<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"\/maintenance-strategies\/predictive-maintenance\/\">Predictive maintenance<\/a> (PdM) foresees potential equipment failures by using machine sensors and advanced tech. For instance, a vibration-analyzing sensor might warn about an impending malfunction, prompting inspection and timely repair. <\/p>\n<p>While visual checks are possible, a CMMS makes PdM more effective by tracking meter readings. PdM&#8217;s edge over preventive maintenance (PM) lies in potential cost savings, deeper machine insights, and maintenance decisions based on real-time equipment condition, not just estimations. <\/p>\n<p>However, transitioning to PdM requires investment. Organizations relying on manual or basic digital records need to first embrace the preventive maintenance foundation to effectively harness predictive maintenance. <\/p>\n<figure>\n  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Predictive-chart.png\" alt=\"Pros and cons of predictive maintenance chart\" style=\"margin-bottom: 60px;\"><br \/>\n<\/figure>\n<div class=\"blog-cta-container\">\n<h2>A short guide to being really good at predictive maintenance<\/h2>\n<p><a class=\"track\" href=\"https:\/\/resources.fiixsoftware.com\/condition-based\/simple-guide-predictive?utm_source=blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Get the guide<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3 id=\"rcm\">4. Reliability-centered maintenance (RCM)<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"\/maintenance-strategies\/reliability-centered-maintenance\/\">Reliability-centered maintenance<\/a> (RCM) acknowledges that equipment failure isn&#8217;t always predictable. It delves deep into analyzing each equipment&#8217;s potential failure patterns, crafting a tailored maintenance plan. The aim is heightened equipment reliability. <\/p>\n<p>The intricacy of RCM lies in its individualistic approach. Assets are ranked by <a href=\"\/blog\/criticality-analysis-what-is-it-and-how-is-it-done\/\">criticality<\/a>\u2014frequent failure risks or those with severe consequences get priority. Thus, an organization might end up with a unique maintenance strategy for each asset. <\/p>\n<figure>\n  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/RCM-generation-chart.png\" alt=\"Reliability-centered maintenance failure modes chart: 3 generations\" style=\"margin-bottom: 60px;\"><br \/>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Given its sophistication, RCM isn&#8217;t for everyone. Only organizations with a seasoned maintenance team, adept in preventive and predictive measures and possessing extensive asset data, should consider adopting RCM. <\/p>\n<figure>\n  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Reliability-chart.png\" alt=\"Pros and cons reliability-centered maintenance failure modes chart\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\"><br \/>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"comparing\">Maintenance management strategies comparison chart<\/h2>\n<p>Need a quick comparison of these four strategies?
