What Is Preventive maintenance?

Apply preventive maintenance deliberately to the situations in which that capability is relevant, with attention to the decisions, behaviours, or outputs that preventive maintenance directly affects.

Preventive maintenance matters when the outcome depends on doing more than the broad task itself; the specific capability described by preventive maintenance can determine how accurately, clearly, efficiently, or appropriately the work is carried out.

What Does It Look Like?

Someone applying preventive maintenance may:

  • uses preventive maintenance deliberately rather than treating it as an automatic habit
  • checks the part of the result most affected by preventive maintenance
  • adjusts the approach when the situation changes what preventive maintenance requires

How to Develop Preventive maintenance

You can develop it by:

  • choose a real task where preventive maintenance is clearly involved and define the result you want to improve
