Corrective maintenance, also known as breakdown maintenance or reactive maintenance, refers to any repair or fix performed on a system or equipment after it has failed or malfunctioned. It involves identifying and addressing the specific issue or fault that caused the breakdown and restoring the system to its normal operational state. Corrective maintenance is typically performed when preventative maintenance measures have not been able to prevent the failure or when there is no pre-determined maintenance schedule in place.
