What is corrective maintenance ?

Corrective maintenance refers to the set of activities and processes undertaken to identify, analyze, and rectify faults, defects, or failures in a system, equipment, or machinery after they have occurred. The primary goal of corrective maintenance is to restore the functionality of the affected entity to its intended or optimal state, minimizing downtime and preventing further deterioration. This type of maintenance is reactive in nature, triggered by the detection of issues through monitoring, user reports, or other diagnostic methods. The key focus is on addressing existing problems swiftly and efficiently to ensure the continued reliability and performance of the system.
