e.g. It was quality maintenance being done but unfortunately the wrong type of maintenance was being performed too often. * quality maintenance - tasks done to a high standard. * qualitative maintenance - tasks carefully chosen to extend the longevity and performance of a device. * preventative maintenance - series of tasks done at specified intervals (without regard to longevity and performance of a device.)
