Maintenance:-
Maintenance is the regular and periodical care of the
machine helping us to work well, safe and longer trouble free life.
Maintenance is not the repairing of machine but it is a process of
PROTECTING A MACHINE SO IT DOESN’T BREAK OR WEAR OUT TOO
QUICKLY.

Objective of Maintenance:-
To reduce failures
To save on operating cost
To prevent accident
To improve working condition by minimising the wear and tear.
To increasing production by maintaining the quality of the
product.
