Answer 1

2.

Three

While there are many new versions, the basic options of maintenance are three. They are preventive, corrective and condition based.

3.

Workers perform preventive maintenance on the machines they operate

As per TPM, the operators perform preventive maintenance. This means the people who work on the machines, maintain the machine so that breakdown risk is reduced.

4.

Preventive maintenance activities

Predictive analysis is always focused on prevention of breakdown rather than corrective actions.

5.

An effective total productive maintenance program

A total productive maintenance program includes both preventive and breakdown maintenance. As a result it is more impactful than the other two.
