Primes¶
- Maintenance
- Unlike repair, which responds to failure after it occurs, and unlike improvement, which extends capacity or scope, maintenance works ahead of catastrophic failure—sustaining stable function over time despite continuous degradation, as Moubray (1997) develops in his canonical treatment of reliability-centered maintenance.
This sourceFoundational RCM text: explicitly reframes maintenance from reactive repair toward proactive, function-preserving interventions tied to measured failure modes and degradation patterns.

- Temporal Decay and Degradation
- This shifts thinking from reactive crisis ("the system broke") to proactive lifecycle management ("the system followed its degradation curve, and we failed to restore it on schedule"), the explicit reframing Moubray (1997) operationalizes as Reliability-Centred Maintenance.
