In this video, we explain what preventive maintenance is, why it’s essential for equipment reliability, and how digital tools like a CMMS help teams plan, schedule, and track maintenance more effectively. If you're looking to reduce downtime, improve asset performance, and streamline facility operations, this quick explainer covers the fundamentals.
In this video, you’ll learn:
• What preventive maintenance means
It keeps equipment reliable by addressing issues before failures happen.
• What tasks are included in preventive maintenance
Routine inspections, cleaning, testing, and part replacements help maintain asset health.
• A quick example of PM in action (AHU maintenance)
Regular checks prevent airflow issues, noisy operation, and unexpected breakdowns.
• Why preventive maintenance reduces downtime and repair costs
Early detection stops small issues from turning into expensive failures.
• How PM improves safety and energy efficiency
Well-maintained systems operate more safely and consume less energy.
• Why consistency matters in preventive maintenance
PM only works when tasks are done on time and tracked accurately.
• Why spreadsheets can’t scale preventive maintenance programs
Manual tracking creates gaps, delays, and unreliable maintenance history.
• How a CMMS improves preventive maintenance with automated schedules and complete asset history
It removes guesswork by ensuring every task is done on time and backed by accurate data.
• How modern CMMS platforms like Facilio enhance preventive maintenance
It asset data, work orders, and insights across sites, teams can continuously improve PM programs.
