What is plant maintenance?

Plant maintenance refers to the processes and activities involved in keeping industrial plants, factories, or manufacturing facilities operating efficiently and safely.

These competencies are vital to ensure equipment reliability, minimize downtime, and support safe, efficient plant operations.
