Run-to-Failure Maintenance
Run-to-Failure Maintenance is a maintenance strategy in which equipment is not serviced or repaired until it fails. This approach is used when the cost of preventive maintenance is higher than the cost of repair or replacement. It is also used when the risk of failure is low and the cost of downtime is low. Run-to-Failure Maintenance is also known as reactive maintenance, corrective maintenance, or breakdown maintenance. This strategy is most commonly used for low-cost, low-risk equipment, such as light bulbs or air filters.
