Executive Summary

Summary

Effective maintenance management involves three critical steps. First, establish a robust filing system to organize asset data. Second, a detailed physical survey will be conducted to assess maintenance exposures. Third, work orders and inspection tickets should be integrated to build a comprehensive database for informed decision-making. While computers aid complex environments, smaller facilities may benefit from manual systems. Efficient workflows, including backlog and pending work management, enhance responsiveness and accountability. Preventive maintenance minimizes emergencies and customer complaints, while root-cause analysis ensures long-term solutions. Proactive systems foster operational efficiency and prevent maintenance failures, highlighting the importance of structured processes and diligent record-keeping.
