How long does equipment typically need to be idle to be considered for inactive maintenance?

Equipment is typically deemed eligible for inactive maintenance after being idle for 30 days. This timeframe reflects a balance between routine maintenance needs and operational readiness. By allowing equipment to remain idle for this duration, maintenance personnel can effectively assess whether the equipment requires repairs, updates, or even complete replacement.

This period also enables organizations to allocate their maintenance resources efficiently, ensuring that they focus their attention on equipment that genuinely needs it while also maintaining operational performance for critical equipment. Maintaining an established threshold like 30 days helps streamline maintenance processes and reduce downtime when equipment can be utilized again, enhancing overall efficiency in maintenance activities.
