# Manage maintenance

> Configure assets, causes, and actions to record work and schedule preventive maintenance.

Maintenance management brings together interventions on machines, equipment, tools, and facilities. Use it to plan inspections and retain the history of failures, time, and materials.

## Before you start

Decide how much detail you need to identify equipment and causes. Too much detail makes work harder to record; too little limits analysis of recurring problems.
