Proactive maintenance
NRM3: Order of cost estimating and cost planning for building maintenance works, defines ‘proactive maintenance’ as: ‘…maintenance work that is undertaken to avoid failures or to identify defects that could lead to failure.They are the tasks to eliminate the root cause of the failure and include routine preventive and predictive maintenance activities and work tasks identified from them. This can include plant tours, targeted inspections and monitoring tasks.’
Business-Focused Maintenance (BG 53/2016), written by Jo Harris and published by BSRIA in May 2016, states: ‘Proactive maintenance is a term used by some to include predictive maintenance and preventative maintenance. It is the natural antithesis of Reactive Maintenance.’
