Preventive Maintenance- PM consists primarily of inspection, testing, cleaning, lubrication, adjustment, calibration, and minor part and component replacement (such as filters, batteries, belts, hoses, fluids, oil and grease) as required to verify proper system operation, minimize malfunction, breakdown, and deterioration of systems and equipment; and maximize useful life.

Repair- The restoration of facilities or equipment to such a condition that it may be effectively utilized for its designated purposes by overhaul, reconstruction, or replacement of constituent parts or materials which have deteriorated by action of the elements or usage, and which have not been corrected through maintenance. This term also applies to replacement of the entire unit or system if beyond economical repair.  The intent of repair is to have the equipment at normal working condition.

Replacement- Replacement is a distinct work element. It is confined to a program of planned replacement of a facility or its components. It may be further limited to major components such as air conditioning compressors, furnaces or hot water heaters. Replacement is performed when the equipment has reached the end of the useful life, when it no longer can perform due to degradation of the internal components and repair is no longer cost effective. Included under the replacement would be the major rebuilding of any component, since rebuilding also restores performance.

Restoration- Restoring real property to such a condition that it can be used for its intended purpose. Includes repair or replacement work to restore facilities damaged by inadequate sustainment, excessive age, natural disaster, fire, accident or other causes.

Sustainment-Maintenance and repair activities necessary to keep a typical inventory of facilities in “normal working condition”. Sustainment includes regularly scheduled maintenance as well as cyclical major repairs or replacement of components that occur periodically over the expected service life of the facilities.
