maintained regularly. This maintenance includes adjustments, cleaning, lubrication, repairs, and
replacement of parts.

Finds possible problems before they cause unplanned downtime and become expensive
repairs
Extends the life of equipment and decreases the frequency of replacement
Contributes positively to reputation and profits
Gives traceability through records
