Corrective maintenance fixes an identified problem to return equipment to normal operating condition. It is used when a fault, issue, or performance problem has been detected and needs to be corrected. Corrective maintenance may be planned or unplanned. It depends on when the issue is discovered and how urgent the repair is.
Corrective maintenance helps companies restore production flow quickly. It prevents the problem from worsening and reduces the risk of a full equipment breakdown. When performed properly, it helps extend the life of equipment.
