ABSTRACT
There is little point in doing maintenance the right way if you are doing the wrong maintenance.
John Moubray
Maintenance is about sustaining productive/useful capacity in both proactive and reactive work. Repairs are required from time to time. If most of them are reactions to failures that were not anticipated, then your proactive efforts may be missing the mark. John Moubray’s quote is to remind us that it is important to do the right proactive maintenance so that we minimize the reactive portion of our workload. Doing the right maintenance work the right way is not all that difficult, but there is no one “right way” to move from a reactive to a largely proactive environment.
