Definition: Microprocedures are small, precise, and often targeted procedures that involve only a few parts of a machine. They are typically used to check or inspect a part of a machine for defects or malfunctions. These procedures can be carried out by one person or by teams of workers who have been trained in their use. Microprocedures are essential for maintaining the reliability, performance, and longevity of an industrial machinery, as they help prevent costly repairs and downtime.
