Regular thorough inspection and manufacturer’s servicing requirements correspond to which maintenance type?

• A. Preventive Maintenance (condition monitoring)
• B. BreakDown Maintenance (Corrective actions)
• C. Planned Maintenance (Periodic servicing)
• D. Predictive Maintenance

Answer: (C)

Regular thorough inspection and following the manufacturer’s servicing requirements describe a scheduled, planned approach to upkeep. Planned Maintenance is a programs of defined tasks carried out at set intervals—inspections, servicing, lubrication, and part replacements—so equipment is kept in proper condition and the maker’s guidelines are followed. This is different from breakdown maintenance, which happens after a fault; predictive maintenance, which uses data to forecast when to service; or preventive maintenance that is driven by monitored conditions. The emphasis on periodic servicing makes Planned Maintenance the best fit.
