Complete Guide to Predictive and Preventive Maintenance, 2nd Edition by Joel Levitt Chapter 1 The Goal of Maintenance Proactive Maintenance (PrM) The Goal of maintenance is (paradoxically) to get out of the maintenance business. Your job will become clear when you understand this! That is the function of the proactive budget. Figure 1.4 illustrates three ways to manage physical assets. The x-axis represents time or utilization. As you travel to the right more time has elapsed, more product has been made, or more mileage has been driven.

The y-axis represents the number of breakdowns or disruptive incidents. The more breakdowns that occur, the higher the curve. Eventually everything wears out.

The plant’s first breakdown is on the left side of the curve, just where the curve becomes visible. Similarly, the last breakdown in that plant is on the right side of the curve, where it intersects the x-axis. Each scenario reflects the average life of all equipment in the facility under that program. For example, if you operate a fleet of cars and don’t do any maintenance, the cars will have a certain average breakdown rate. If you add PM activity, the average life will be extended. In the last curve to the right, you re-engineer the cars to be more reliable.
