Maintenance Plan
Once a maintenance strategy has been
developed for an asset, it must be translated into
annual maintenance plans that
set out, in detail, the maintenance tasks to be performed
each year.
The maintenance plan provides a basis
for managing the work and for monitoring maintenance
performance. It should set out the maintenance requirements
of assets, broken down into individual components,
systems or elements when necessary.
It should also
include a statement of resources, which details such
information as:
- The resources required to undertake
the maintenance function, including its planning
and management
- The expected number and type of
maintenance contracts and suppliers
- The expected funds sources for
both capital and recurrent costs over the period
(sources of funds could include recoveries from user
charges
and other
sources as well as funds appropriated in the budget)
Maintenance data need to be captured
as work is performed, with records being kept of maintenance
history for planning purposes. As appropriate, such
data should also be used to prepare the annual maintenance
plan.
