I feel like the problem for maintenance is that it doesn't flow in steady units of output like production tasks. You don't have a maintenance team to keep them at 100% use, but to make sure that everything else is at 100% functioning.

You don't go buy a mop when you have a flood you keep one standing by. Maintenance is like keeping a rental mop on hand, sure you can use it for the little things while you wait for the big one and that's when they shine.
