Maintenance and repair are two terms that are often used interchangeably, but they have different meanings. Maintenance involves functional checks, maintenance, repair or replacement of devices, equipment, machinery, building infrastructure and support services needed in industrial, commercial and residential facilities. On the other hand, repairs are actions taken to restore functionality after an asset has suffered a failure. Maintenance experts recommend devoting 80 percent of your resources to proactive maintenance and 20 percent to corrective repairs.
