Kunnossapitotyyppejä

Kunnossapitotyyppejä refers to different categories or approaches to maintenance. These types are generally defined by their timing and purpose.

Reactive maintenance, sometimes called breakdown maintenance, is performed only after a piece of equipment has failed or malfunctioned. The primary goal is to restore the system to operational status as quickly as possible. This approach can lead to unexpected downtime and potentially higher repair costs due to damage that may have occurred before the maintenance was initiated.

Preventive maintenance is scheduled and performed at regular intervals or according to usage metrics to reduce the likelihood of equipment failure. The aim is to prevent breakdowns before they happen through routine inspections, cleaning, lubrication, and replacement of worn parts. This proactive approach can extend equipment life and minimize disruptions.

Predictive maintenance uses monitoring and diagnostic techniques to assess the condition of equipment during operation. By analyzing data from sensors (such as vibration, temperature, or oil analysis), maintenance can be scheduled precisely when it is needed, just before a potential failure is predicted. This optimizes maintenance efforts by avoiding unnecessary interventions while still preventing unexpected breakdowns.

Condition-based maintenance is a broader category that encompasses predictive maintenance. It involves monitoring the actual condition of an asset to decide when maintenance should be performed. This can include visual inspections, performance measurements, and diagnostic tests, all aimed at ensuring maintenance is performed only when there is a demonstrable need.
