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.
