This trend leads to a more mechanized and automated equipment, resulting in great productive potential which must be kept working. This means that training facilities are becoming more complicated and required more advanced maintenance.

2. Increasingly expensive raw materials
Finite raw materials, in combination with a growing population and increasing assumption, inevitably result in higher raw material prices. Unavoidably, the costs of all by-products must rise. It is therefore often more profitable to maintain existing equipment than purchase new ones.

3. Greater complication
3. Greater complication
A complicated facility of piece of equipment includes many components, any or all of which can constitute possible sources of trouble. Although the operational reliability of each individual component may be very high, it is necessary to multiply reliability factor of all components that are dependent on each other in a system in order to arrive at the total system reliability.

Capital costs constitute a considerable part of the total costs of training and must be covered by the added value created. If
training stops as a result of inadequate maintenance, capital costs (depreciation) must still be paid, so that the standstill results in a net loss. Still, the salaries and overhead expenses must be paid while training is stopped.

5. Reduce delayed activities and eradicate uncompleted work
5. Reduce delayed activities and eradicate uncompleted work
Many work processes depend on an uninterrupted flow of activities to produce desired result. If an activity is delayed, the entire work stops. If all the facilities and equipment are reliable working well, work delay can be reduced.

6. Environmental concern
6. Environmental concern
The growing quantity of electronic wastes (monitors, laptops, cellular phones, other electronic gadgets and its substances), the increasing use of chemicals such as cleaning agents, paints, fuel and its derivatives, the by-products created from its use, and its disposal, pose danger to the environment and all living things. Mass awareness on waste management brings the relevance of conserving the natural resources and the products (machines, tools) thru proper maintenance to lengthen its useful life.

A maintenance schedule is a list allocating specific maintenance of an area, including equipment and tools to a specific period. The maintenance schedule is just a part of the maintenance program. A maintenance checklist is a list of maintenance tasks (preventive or predictive) typically derived through some form of analysis, generated automatically as work orders at a predetermined frequency.
