What is level 4 maintenance?
Level 4 maintenance operations are complex and of great importance, requiring special technical expertise. They must therefore be carried out by a technician or a team of specialized technicians with a specific qualification, and supervised by a specialized manager. Level 5 maintenance is usually carried out by the equipment manufacturer or a specialist company. Level 5 maintenance usually involves dismantling existing equipment.These levels are essentially where repair work is performed: Organizational level (O-level), which is performed on the asset on site. Intermediate level (I-level), which is performed in dedicated maintenance areas or backshops. Depot level (D-level), which is performed off site, such as at an OEM factory.
