What is the focus of corrective maintenance?

The focus of corrective maintenance is primarily on restoring equipment functionality after a failure has occurred. This type of maintenance is reactive in nature, meaning that it is performed in response to an actual breakdown or malfunction of equipment. The goal is to repair and return the equipment to its operational state as quickly as possible to minimize downtime and maintain productivity.

Corrective maintenance involves diagnosing the issue, replacing or repairing faulty components, and ensuring that the equipment works properly again. While other types of maintenance, such as preventive maintenance, may aim to identify and mitigate potential issues before they lead to failure, corrective maintenance specifically addresses the situation after a failure has already happened.
