Facilities Maintenance Plan Guide
Create a facilities maintenance plan using asset registers, criticality, preventive tasks, legal checks, work orders, spares and performance trends.
Know the asset base
Record asset identity, location, specification, condition, warranty, responsible owner and supporting documents. Verify registers against the actual facility.
Prioritise by consequence
Assess safety, legal, operational, environmental, customer and cost impact. Criticality should drive maintenance and spares decisions.
Plan preventive work
Use manufacturer information, statutory requirements, operating history and condition to define task, frequency, competence and evidence.
Learn from failures
Analyse breakdown, response time, repeat defects, backlog and maintenance cost. Adjust task content and frequency using evidence rather than habit.
