What are the main corrective maintenance services in malls?!

Even if a shopping center invests in preventive and predictive maintenance, it is susceptible to failures and drops in the performance of equipment that require  corrective maintenance .

In this case, it is essential to perform the services as soon as possible. This avoids safety problems, as well as losses from keeping equipment and systems stopped, such as elevators, escalators, air conditioners, among others.

For the action to take place efficiently, it is necessary to know the types of failures and services that can be performed when the machines need to undergo maintenance to ensure their proper functioning.

Types of failures that require corrective maintenance

Despite the common thought that corrective maintenance  is one thing, in reality it is divided by the types of failures that present in the equipment. For you to understand better, see what they are:

• Potential failure  that, at an early stage, indicates that something is wrong, but the machine continues to work. For example, when an air conditioner starts to drip, it is a sign that something is wrong with the equipment. The problem can be caused by the dirt of the filter itself or the unevenness of the device, among other causes. The important thing in this case is to discover and make the necessary repair urgently;
• Functional failure , which occurs when equipment no longer performs the function for which it was designed, such as stopped elevators or escalators. If failures were detected at an early stage, the problem would not have occurred, hence the importance of constant inspections.

Corrective maintenance services performed in malls

As well as the failures that require corrective maintenance are differentiated, the types of  services  also differ from each other, depending on the type of problem presented. In this case, services performed in malls may involve:

Planned corrective maintenance

This occurs when there is a  potential failure  in the equipment, which allows  programming  if it is not causing safety or quality problems. In other words, management can choose the best time, when the mall is closed or during off-peak hours.

Unplanned corrective maintenance

As the name suggests,  unplanned corrective  maintenance occurs when there is an urgent  need for repair or repair due to a  functional failure  that compromises the safety, operation of the enterprise and the  satisfaction  of all stakeholders involved.

Due to  emergency  corrective maintenance  skipping the planning and programming steps, since the equipment itself made the services take place, it is the  most  expensive ,  dangerous  and  time- consuming  option  for a mall.

Therefore, it is essential to be aware of the functioning of all the machines that compose it.

How to effectively avoid emergency fixes

To avoid accidents, losses and equipment failures that could compromise the image of a mall with the public, it is essential to invest in efficient preventive maintenance.

In this sense, technology acts as an important tool to assist in inspections, organization of activities, cost reduction and continuity of operation.
