Equipment maintenance entails the regular inspection, servicing, calibration, and repair of manufacturing equipment and systems to ensure their reliability, performance, and compliance with GMP requirements. This systematic process aims to uphold optimal performance, reliability, and longevity throughout the operational lifecycle of machinery, instruments, tools, or equipment. Key maintenance activities include preventive maintenance, predictive maintenance, corrective maintenance, and calibration, all of which serve to identify and address potential issues, prevent breakdowns, and extend equipment life. Effective equipment maintenance programmes are crucial for minimising downtime, reducing costs, and ensuring product quality, safety, and compliance in manufacturing and other industrial operations.
