I propose for the client support mechanism
Preventive maintenance—the prevention of equipment breakdowns before they happen.
This includes inspections, adjustments, regular service and planned shutdowns.
Repair work—repairing equipment and troubleshooting malfunctions in an effort to
return the equipment to its previous condition. These repairs may be reactive or
preventive.
Improvement work—searching for better materials and improved design changes to
facilitate equipment reliability. Repair work is often a part of improvement work.
