Preventive & Predictive Maintenance Programmes
Most maintenance programmes fail the same way: the schedule is built from equipment manuals, not from criticality, so effort is spread evenly across assets whose failure consequences are wildly different. Getting the criticality assessment right is most of the value.
In short
A preventive maintenance programme schedules servicing based on each asset's requirements and criticality, so failures are prevented rather than repaired. Predictive maintenance adds condition monitoring — vibration, thermography, oil analysis — to intervene only when data indicates a developing fault.
What's included
What SCPL handles under Preventive maintenance
Asset owners carrying unplanned downtime costs, or running a schedule that has not been reviewed against actual failure history.
- Asset register and criticality
- What you have, and what it costs you when each item fails.
- Schedule design
- Task lists and frequencies weighted to criticality, not spread evenly.
- Condition monitoring
- Vibration analysis, thermography and oil analysis on critical equipment.
- Execution
- Scheduled work carried out and documented by qualified technicians.
- Failure analysis
- Root cause investigation that actually changes the schedule.
- Programme review
- Periodic reassessment against failure history and changing operations.

Common questions
What is the difference between preventive and predictive maintenance?
Preventive maintenance is time or usage based — service at a set interval regardless of condition. Predictive maintenance uses condition data to intervene only when a fault is developing. Predictive is more efficient on critical rotating equipment; preventive remains appropriate for lower-criticality assets where monitoring costs more than it saves.
How do you know if a maintenance programme is working?
Reactive callout volume should fall and unplanned downtime should reduce. If both are flat after a full cycle, the schedule is generating activity rather than reliability — which usually means the criticality assessment underneath it was never done properly.
