Preventive maintenance: a simple method to start without perfect history

An asset inventory, pragmatic criticality, manufacturer guidance and simple KPIs are enough to start a first maintenance loop.

23 June 2026

Inventory assets

Code, location, function, manufacturer, model, power, commissioning date and documentation form a minimum record.

Rank criticality

Safety, production impact, quality, environment, replacement lead time and cost provide an initial hierarchy.

Create basic routines

Inspections, cleaning, lubrication, tightening, periodic replacement and condition measurements can be structured from available recommendations.

Learn from interventions

Time spent, cause, part replaced and downtime feed the history that will make the plan more precise.
