(three-pee)

Somtimes called Reliability Centered Maintenance, 3P incorporates a cost-effective mix of predictive, proactive, preventive, and reactive maintenance practices.

By doing this, the theory is that you will prevent breakdowns which are ultimately more costly than the 3P maintenance costs.
