Reactive maintenance is maintenance carried out only after equipment has failed. It focuses on fixing the problem after the event. Although this method is sometimes necessary, it can be more disruptive and more expensive than planned approaches. It often creates delays in production because work stops while the asset is repaired.
Reactive maintenance is not ideal as a long-term strategy. However, it is a reality for many organisations when issues occur suddenly.
How this applies to WorkfloPlus
WorkfloPlus helps teams respond to reactive maintenance events more efficiently. Digital operational workflows can be used to document the repair step-by-step. Photos, notes, and signatures can be captured during the repair. As a result, organisations have clear evidence of what was done and when.
WorkfloPlus also gives managers instant insight into the status of repairs. Therefore, it becomes easier to control, even when unexpected issues occur.
