Inspection – Inspection tasks are performed to detect an imminent failure (and therefore allow a planned maintenance task to be scheduled to prevent the failure) or to detect a hidden failure.
Preventive maintenance – Preventive maintenance tasks can involve the replacement of aging equipment or minor tasks such as lubrication. Preventive maintenance can also be performed when an inspection predicts that a failure is about to occur.
Corrective maintenance – Corrective tasks are performed when a random failure takes place or when an inspection reveals a hidden failure.
Failure-finding maintenance – Failure-finding tasks are used to determine whether a specific hidden failure has occurred.
