General Subjects (Auxiliaries & Systems) USCG Question #1645 (Set 25)

What type of maintenance system would be associated with accomplishing maintenance after a machinery breakdown?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — Corrective maintenance system

Corrective maintenance, often referred to as reactive or breakdown maintenance, is performed after a piece of equipment has failed or malfunctioned. This approach is typically used for non-critical components where the cost of failure is lower than the cost of a comprehensive preventative or predictive maintenance program.
