Module 3 Assigment 1 - Maintenance Planning Information Management System

[MikeS]

A maintenance planner needs detailed information about:

1) the assets that they need to maintain,
2) about the way those assets are to be maintained, and
3) about how that maintenance work is to be done safely and
effectively.

All of that information, which is always a lot of documents, needs to
be in a maintenance document management system that lets you find and
extract all the details a Maintenance Planner needs fast to complete a
work pack quickly and correctly for every asset in the operation. The
assignment asks you to identify all the documents that you need to
have in your maintenance planning system.

The ‘data capture for maintenance’ listing in the workbook is just to
show you an example of the range of data a planning system needs
(drawings, manuals, data sheets, material lists, legal obligations,
etc,… for all disciplines and covering all assets). The level of
detail needed for every equipment and its assemblies gets right down
to parts level information.

Your planning information management system also needs contain all the
specific requirements and practices needed to address all relevent
workplace risks when working on plant and equipment.

If your system does not contain that degree of information a Planner
will always send out incomplete work packs that leave their people
unsure and guessing about what is required to successfully do the
maintenance job. If you do not have parts level information Planners
will occasionally order the wrong parts for an asset.
