Maintenance is an important component of a business especially those which use equipment that run daily activities. Without it, production may come to an unexpected halt because of a machine that won't operate. People tasked with keeping the machines and the equipment in tip top condition have a difficult responsibility of doing the appropriate maintenance measures at the right time to make sure that none of them fail. Maintenance is not done when the machines or the equipment are no longer working. Good maintenance is done before the machine even fails, thus preventing malfunction.
