“important
principles
must
be
inflexible.”
-Abraham
Lincoln
There is no
more important
a principle
than that of
preventive
maintenance.
T
he principle of preventive maintenance is as
sound as a dollar and as lasting as the love of
freedom. Simply put, the principle is:
Preventing equipment failure is better than
dealing with equipment failure.
Preventing equipment failure happens on your
time when you schedule it.
At that moment, you
are not faced with a life and death situation.
Dealing with equipment failure happens on the
enemy’s time and never fits into your schedule.
And far too often, the situation is life and death.
Putting the wisdom of Abraham Lincoln and
Master Sergeant Half-Mast together, we might
have heard from them,
“Preventive maintenance
is an important principle that must be inflexible.”
