What is Preventive Maintenance?
- Preventive Maintenance
- Preventive Maintenance is scheduled, proactive servicing of equipment at defined intervals to prevent breakdowns and extend asset life.
Preventive vs Reactive Maintenance
Reactive Maintenance (fix when broken): low planning cost but high downtime cost, unpredictable production disruptions. Preventive Maintenance (scheduled service): higher planning cost but lower breakdown risk, predictable maintenance windows that can be scheduled during planned production downtime.
PM in ERPNext
ERPNext's Maintenance Schedule creates recurring Maintenance Visits for each asset at defined intervals (weekly, monthly, quarterly). Technicians complete the checklist on the Maintenance Visit document. If a visit is overdue, ERPNext raises a notification. Completed maintenance history is stored on the Asset record.
