Which of the following is NOT a component of a preventative maintenance program?

• A. Inventory List
• B. Monitoring
• C. Storage of spare parts
• D. Maintenance Schedule

Answer: (C)

Preventative maintenance programs are built around planning and executing regular upkeep to prevent equipment failures. The core elements are a maintenance schedule that lays out when tasks should be performed, monitoring that tracks condition and performance to signal when action is needed, and an up‑to‑date inventory of assets and parts so maintenance planning has the needed context and resources. Storing spare parts is important for enabling quick repairs, but it’s a logistics and inventory management activity that supports maintenance rather than being a direct component of the maintenance program itself.
