Which term refers to scheduled upkeep tasks?

• A. Appointment
• B. Planned Maintenance
• C. Assignment: Assign Pending Dispatch WO
• D. Reassignment: reassign unassigned

Answer: (B)

Scheduled upkeep tasks are preventive activities arranged in advance to keep assets in good condition. Planned Maintenance is the term that captures this idea because it describes tasks defined ahead of time and scheduled on a maintenance plan—recurring or condition-based work aimed at preventing failures, rather than reacting to incidents. An appointment is just a booked visit time, not the nature of the work; assignments and reassignments deal with who does the work rather than what kind of work it is. So the best fit for scheduled upkeep tasks is Planned Maintenance.
