# [Kinds of Industrial Maintenance at the Tequila Industry](https://www.casasauza.com/en/tequila-process/kinds-industrial-maintenance-tequila-industry)

The maintenance that we run at Casa Sauza is classified in **different kinds**. I will here explain each one of them as well as their benefits.

## **How many kinds of maintenance are there?**

There are currently many ways to call the different kinds of maintenance that there are yet, they all lead to the same approach, in which the main objective is the **preservation** of the technical equipment or its **restoration** to its original functioning state, as well as the **assessment** of the current technical resources of a system.

We at Casa Sauza, mainly classify maintenance into **two kinds**: **Preventive** Maintenance and **Corrective** Maintenance.

## Preventive Maintenance

El **objetivo** del Mantenimiento Preventivo es el **mantener los equipos en condiciones óptimas** de funcionamiento con la finalidad de prevenir alguna avería o fallo, la ventaja de este es que maximiza el desempeño del equipo por ende la **productividad** todo esto a un **bajo costo**.

El mantenimiento preventivo lo sub-clasificamos en 3 tipos:

- Mantenimiento Basado en Tiempo
- Mantenimiento
- Basado en Condiciones por último Inspección

Este mantenimiento se realiza de diferentes maneras es por ello que lo clasificamos dependiendo de cada una (MBT, MBC e Inspección).

### **1 Time-Based Maintenance (TBM)**

This kind of maintenance works by **replacing the equipment pieces** according to either the cycles recommended by its producer, or the experience of the technicians, who define how often the pieces must be changed **before they actually break down**. The **benefits** of this kind of maintenance are that **inspections are not as needed** and that we **prevent breakdowns** by carrying out a time-based routine.

### **2 Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM).**

This kind of maintenance is carried out by **evaluating the equipment's current conditions** making use of [diagnosis and measurement tools](https://www.casasauza.com/tequila-process/calibrating-measurement-equipment-in-the-tequila-industry?hsLang=en) such as: vibration analysis, thermographies, earthing systems, etc... The benefit of this kind of maintenance is that we avoid maintenance based on excessive-time.

### **3 Inspection-based and Reparation.**

This maintenance carries out** routine inspections of the equipment** to ensure that it is all in optimal operating conditions otherwise, failures are it reported for their correction.

## Corrective Maintenance

Corrective maintenance is carried out once a failure or breakdown takes place. **Once the failure is detected**, the situation is analyzed and the **actions needed in order to reestablish the optimal operating conditions** of the equipment are carried out.

This kind of maintenance is** low-cost **since no inspections or replacements are carried out **unless a failure occurs**. Yet, it turns out to be very **expensive in the long run** since, the more equipment that we keep in constant use (under no CBM), the more failures will happen, which will considerably affect production.

We at **[Casa Sauza](https://www.casasauza.com/tequila-process/casa-sauza-sustainable-company-with-a-sense-of-belonging?hsLang=en)** try to prioritize Preventive Maintenance so we can avoid Corrective Maintenance as much as possible yet, we are [still working on it](https://www.casasauza.com/tequila-process/continuous-improvement-at-casa-sauza?hsLang=en).

If you want to l**earn more about Casa Sauza**, you can either keep reading our **Tequila Production Process** blog or even **come to Casa Sauza yourself** and experience the whole process on-site. You will love not just coming to Casa Sauza but to [Tequila](https://www.casasauza.com/helicoptero-tequila-flying-experience?hsLang=en), Jalisco as well!
