How does NAVFAC P-307 define maintenance?

NAVFAC P-307 defines maintenance as the combination of all technical and administrative actions to ensure performance. This definition encompasses a broad range of activities, including preventive maintenance, predictive maintenance, and corrective actions, all aimed at keeping equipment and facilities in optimal working condition. It emphasizes both the technical aspects, such as repairs and inspections, and administrative actions, such as documentation and compliance with safety regulations.

This comprehensive approach underscores the importance of not merely reacting to equipment failures but actively ensuring that all systems perform efficiently and effectively over time. By integrating various types of maintenance into one definition, NAVFAC P-307 highlights the critical role that both planned and unplanned actions play in maintaining equipment reliability and performance.
