This will bring worries later. 2. Reactive: Fix it when it breaks. This will run to failure. 3. Preventive: Scheduled maintenance. 4. Predictive: Fix it before it breaks. Predict faults. 5. Proactive: Continuous improvement defect elimination. The most cost-effective approach is 'Proactive', because is the only approach that has continuous improvement in the process, people and policies to minimize downtime. Being proactive takes defect out f the system and continuously harness opportunity that will optimize the system * Refer to the question column for response
