Planned Preventive Maintenance (PPM) is a proactive approach to maintaining equipment, machinery, or systems by scheduling regular inspections, servicing, and repairs before any issues arise. The goal of PPM is to minimize the risk of unexpected breakdowns, reduce downtime, and extend the lifespan of assets.
