service by personnel for the purpose of
maintaining equipment and facilities in
a good operation condition by
providing systematic inspection,
detection and correction to prevent
problem from occurring and mitigate
the consequences of the failure of the
equipment.

Maintenance task has to be carried
out to identify, isolate and rectify the
fault so that the failed equipment or
system can be restored to operable
condition within the tolerance
established for in-service operation.
