What is the primary focus of preventive maintenance planning?

The primary focus of preventive maintenance planning is to reduce downtime. Preventive maintenance is a proactive approach designed to keep equipment and facilities functioning optimally through scheduled inspections, servicing, and repairs before any failures occur. By adhering to a preventative maintenance schedule, potential issues can be identified and resolved early, preventing unexpected equipment failures that can lead to costly downtime. This proactive strategy enhances the reliability of sports facilities, ensures safety, and upholds the quality of events held at those venues.

While maximizing revenue, increasing staff numbers, and cutting operational costs are important aspects of facility management, they do not directly address the critical need to maintain equipment and facilities effectively to minimize disruptions. The reduction of downtime ultimately contributes to all these other elements by ensuring that the facility can operate smoothly, thus supporting financial goals and operational efficiency.
