It is famously known as the PMS or Planned Maintenance System. In this type of system the maintainence is carried out as per the running hours like 4000 hrs, 8000 hrs etc., or by the calender intervals like 6 monthly, yearly etc. of the machinery. The maintenance is carried out irrespective of the condition of the machinery. The parts have to be replaced if it is written in the schedule, even if they can be still used.

The Benefit Of Selling Used Industrial Equipment
Recover Unused Capital
Recouping some of the capital that you have tied up in unused industrial equipment is by far the biggest and most obvious benefit of asset recovery. Given that more and more companies are looking to purchased used industrial equipment at a discounted price as opposed to purchasing more expensive, brand-new equipment, recouping a considerable sum by selling your unused industrial equipment is now easier than ever before. Based on the amount of use of the equipment as well as the age of the equipment this money you could earn back can vary.
Recover Warehouse/ Storage Space
Storing large pieces of unused industrial equipment comes at a cost. Many pieces of industrial equipment can be quite large and cumbersome, taking up a lot of space in a storage facility. Since industrial equipment must often be stored in a secure and climate-controlled environment, the price tag associated with storing industrial equipment goes up even higher. Of course, there's simply no reason to pay for the storage of industrial equipment that your company no longer uses. Selling your used industrial equipment enables you to free up this storage space.
Eliminate Maintenance on Unused Equipment
Even industrial equipment that no longer sees regular usage still must be maintained. Unless you are okay with the equipment that you are storing going to ruin, you are still going to need to pay someone to perform routine maintenance on the equipment that you are no longer using. Just like paying to store unused industrial equipment, paying to maintain this equipment is an unnecessary expense.
Developing Partnerships with Potential Companies/ Buyers
Selling your used industrial equipment to other companies in the manufacturing industry can serve as a gateway to helping you establish relationships and partnerships with other companies that may valuable down the road. There's no way to know for when, if, or how the relationships you form with other companies by engaging in transactions with them will come to benefit your company.
