    How to prepare

  • Current maintenance schedules
  • Recent breakdown or downtime information
  • Known recurring equipment problems
  • Existing job-card or maintenance records
  • Questions about this service

    Maintenance activity does not always mean effective maintenance. Recurring failures, weak planning and reactive work can continue to reduce availability.

     

    Yes. The review looks at repeated failures and maintenance practices to help identify where corrective action should be focused.

     

    No. The review can assess what is currently in place and identify what needs to be strengthened or introduced.

     

    Yes. Shutdown planning can be reviewed where it forms part of the operation’s maintenance requirements.
