What is PMCS?

Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services

PMCS is the routine, scheduled inspection and servicing of equipment to catch faults before they cause failure. It's performed at set intervals (before/during/after operation, or by hours/miles) against checklists, and each check is recorded. PMCS is the field discipline that keeps fleets mission-capable.

On contingency contracts, PMCS compliance feeds readiness reporting and is a frequent surveillance and audit item.

In FORGEFORGE's field app captures PMCS in a few taps and rolls completion into maintenance and readiness views.

Common questions

What is the difference between PMCS and corrective maintenance?

PMCS is scheduled, preventive servicing to avoid failure; corrective maintenance is the repair done after a fault occurs. Strong PMCS reduces the volume and cost of corrective work.
