What type of maintenance system would be associated with accomplishing maintenance after a machinery breakdown?

APlanned maintenance system
BCondition-based maintenance system
CCorrective maintenance system
DPredictive maintenance system
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Corrective maintenance system. Corrective maintenance is the type of maintenance system that is associated with accomplishing maintenance after a machinery breakdown. When a machinery breakdown occurs, the corrective maintenance approach involves repairing or replacing the failed component to restore the system to its operational condition. This is in contrast to other maintenance systems, such as planned maintenance, condition-based maintenance, or predictive maintenance, which focus on preventing breakdowns through scheduled maintenance or monitoring of equipment condition. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not directly address the maintenance actions taken after a breakdown has occurred. Planned maintenance, condition-based maintenance, and predictive maintenance systems are more proactive approaches to maintenance, rather than the reactive nature of corrective maintenance in response to a breakdown.
