Full Definition
A Maintenance Schedule is a planned timetable for performing maintenance tasks on building equipment and systems. It includes routine inspections, preventive maintenance activities, and scheduled repairs designed to prevent failures and ensure reliable operation. Maintenance schedules may be time-based (e.g., monthly, quarterly) or usage-based (e.g., after a certain number of operating hours). Well-planned schedules help extend equipment life, reduce emergency repairs, and optimize maintenance costs.
