Reactive Repairs

​Reactive repairs refer to maintenance strategies where repairs are performed only after an asset has broken down or is damaged. This approach is often seen in situations where equipment or facilities need urgent attention, such as emergency repairs for plumbing issues or damage to windows.

Types of Reactive Maintenance:

Emergency Maintenance: Repairs are made immediately when an asset fails, often causing operational disruptions.

Breakdown Maintenance: Repairs are made after equipment has become unusable or inoperable.

1

Run-to-Failure Maintenance: Assets are allowed to run until they break down, with repairs performed afterward.

While reactive maintenance can be cost-effective in the short term, it may lead to higher long-term costs and operational risks if not managed properly.
