Corrective maintenance refers to modifying equipment, after it is received to the particular application in that company, as well as the application of the concept of continues improvement.

If corrective maintenance is performed on equipment each year, the equipment becomes better and more efficient each year. Traditional thinking says that equipment will deteriorate each year until it becomes unusable and must be replaced.
