Repair

Full Definition

Repair is the process of fixing broken, damaged, or malfunctioning equipment, systems, or building components to restore them to proper working condition. Repairs may range from simple fixes (tightening connections, replacing filters) to complex overhauls (motor rebuilds, control system replacements). Effective repair practices include accurate diagnosis, quality parts, skilled technicians, and proper documentation. Repairs are typically tracked through work orders in a CMMS, which records labor, parts, costs, and completion details. Timely repairs prevent further damage, maintain safety, and extend equipment life.
