Ofcourse It Makes difference.

When you are doing preventive maintenance you are curing your Machine or whatever you are trying to maintain

Of course it works. Checking your equipments and machines timely reduces the risk factors and dead time. In Manufacturing industries dead time leads to heavy loss and FMCG companies did not compromise on their productivity so for them PM is a good tool.
