Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Periodic maintenance refers to maintenance activities that are scheduled at regular intervals to prevent equipment breakdowns and extend equipment life. Preventive maintenance falls under this category, making option C the correct choice. Option A (breakdown maintenance) refers to activities that are performed after a failure has occurred, while option B (predictive maintenance) uses data to predict when equipment failures are likely to occur. Option D (corrective maintenance) is similar to breakdown maintenance, but refers specifically to activities performed to correct a known problem. Therefore, option E (all of the choices) is incorrect as it includes options A, B, and D which are not periodic in nature.
