This combines the best of reactive and preventive approaches - equipment is repaired when needed and unplanned downtime is avoided.

(...) action qui ne se limite pas à des changements de pièces présumées usées, mais qui prévoit en plus la suppression des pannes par la fiabilité, le renouvellement, l'optimisation, la maintenance potentielle, c'est-à-dire corrective.

CONT

Désormais, la réparation elle aussi est remplacée de plus en plus souvent dans les industries de haute technologie par la "maintenance prédictive" par ordinateur, méthode de détection précoce des anomalies. (Euréka, 1988, p. 235).
