Planned Maintenance Software
Planned Maintenance Management through CAFM software
Planned Maintenance (PM), often referred to as Planned Preventive Maintenance (‘PPM’) or Scheduled Maintenance, is any variety of scheduled maintenance to an object or item of equipment. Specifically, Planned Maintenance is a scheduled service visit carried out by a competent individual, to ensure that an item of equipment is operating correctly and to therefore avoid any unscheduled breakdown and downtime.
A number of Legislative planned maintenance requirements are due to legislation, such as The Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 (also referred to as HSWA, the HSW Act, the 1974 Act or HASAWA).
