karbantartanak

Karbantartanak is the 3rd person plural present indicative form of the Hungarian verb karbantartani, meaning to maintain or service. It indicates that several subjects are performing maintenance activities. The related noun forms are karbantartás, meaning maintenance, and karbantartó, meaning a maintenance worker. In sentences, karbantartanak is used to describe ongoing upkeep by a group, for example: "A technikusok karbantartanak minden berendezést."

In practical use, karbantartanak can describe maintenance activities across many sectors, including manufacturing, facilities management, information technology, transportation, and energy. Maintenance aims to preserve functionality, extend asset life, reduce downtime, and ensure safety and compliance. Common categories include preventive maintenance (scheduled inspections and servicing), corrective maintenance (repairs after a fault), and predictive or condition-based maintenance (interventions based on monitored asset condition). Maintenance teams may work in shifts and coordinate with operations, engineering, and safety departments.

Organizations often formalize maintenance through processes, documentation, and standards. Tools such as computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) or enterprise resource planning (ERP) modules help schedule tasks, record work, track parts, and analyze performance. International frameworks like ISO 55000 on asset management influence how karbantartanak are planned and evaluated, emphasizing value, risk, and lifecycle considerations.

Linguistically, karbantartanak as a verb form is distinct from karbantartók (maintenance workers) and karbantartás (maintenance as a concept). Its usage reflects ongoing action by a group and is common in technical writing, service contracts, operator manuals, and corporate reporting describing routine upkeep of equipment, facilities, or systems.
