Which category of maintenance tasks includes essential repairs that have not been completed yet?

  1. Condition Based Maintenance

  2. Backlog Maintenance

  3. Predictive Maintenance

  4. Corrective Maintenance

The correct answer is: Backlog Maintenance

Backlog Maintenance refers to the tasks that have been identified as necessary repairs or maintenance work that has not yet been completed. This typically includes work that may be overdue or has been deferred for various reasons, such as resource allocation or prioritization of urgent tasks. By managing backlog maintenance effectively, organizations can minimize the risks of equipment failure and optimize overall operational efficiency. Condition Based Maintenance and Predictive Maintenance focus on performing maintenance based on the actual condition or predicted failure of equipment, rather than addressing overdue tasks. Corrective Maintenance involves addressing failures that have already occurred but does not specifically highlight the concept of tasks that are pending or undelivered. Therefore, Backlog Maintenance is the most appropriate category for describing essential repairs that still need to be addressed.
