Preventative vs. Reactive Maintenance

In industrial environments, equipment failure is costly.

The question is: do you wait for it to break, or do you prevent the breakdown?

At JCB Industrial, we specialize in keeping systems running. And when it comes to maintenance, we’ve seen time and again - proactive beats reactive.

The Cost of Reactive Maintenance

Waiting until something fails can seem like a way to save time or money. But here’s what often happens instead:

  • Unexpected downtime that halts production

  • Emergency repair costs that exceed budget

  • Safety risks to your team

  • Damage to surrounding equipment, making the issue worse

Reactive maintenance usually ends up costing more - not just in dollars, but in lost time and missed deadlines.

The Value of Preventative Maintenance

Preventative Maintenance means staying ahead of breakdowns. It includes regular inspections, cleaning, adjustments, and early part replacements.

Benefits include:

  • Fewer disruptions

  • Lower repair costs over time

  • Longer equipment life

  • A safer, more reliable work environment
