Complete, thorough, and current documentation is essential to an effective

maintenance program. Whether you are performing preventive, predictive, or

reliability-centered maintenance, keeping track of equipment condition and
maintenance performed or planned is critical.
Maintenance recommendations contained inthis report should be used as the
basis for establishing or refining a maintenance schedule. Recommendations can
be converted into Job Plans or Work Orders in MAXIMO or another maintenance
management system. Once these job plans and work orders are established,
implementation of well-executed predictive or RCM is possible.
The maintenance recordkeeping system mustbe kept current so that a complete
maintenance history of each piece of equipment is available at all times. This is
important for planning and conducting an ongoing maintenance program and
provides documentation needed for the Power O&M Reviews (section 1.7).
Regular maintenance and emergency maintenance must be well documented, as
should special work done during overhauls and replacement.
The availability of up-to-date drawings to management and maintenance staff is
extremely important. Accurate drawings are very important to ongoing
maintenance, testing, and new construction; but they also are essential during
emergencies for troubleshooting. In addition, accurate drawings are important to
the continued safety of the staff working on the equipment.
