41: Implementation Issue
Definition/Typical Issues
Was there a failure to perform the event-based maintenance as it should have been? Were some parts of the specified task not performed?
Examples
Example 1
- Trucks used in a northern area were supposed to be cleaned once per week during the winter to clean off road salt that accumulated on the truck. Often the underside of the truck was not cleaned because personnel usually got wet when cleaning the underside of the trucks. As a result, costs to address corrosion of the undersides of the vehicles were high.
Example 2
- During initial installation of a fan, one of the bearings was installed correctly, but was not lubricated as it should have been. As a result, it failed shortly after startup.
Note: This incident is included under event-based maintenance because the lubrication activity is triggered by an event, the installation of the fan.
Typical Recommendations
- Review the event-based maintenance schedule and completed work requests to ensure that all required activities are being performed.
- Perform field inspections to identify event-based maintenance tasks that are not being properly implemented.
- Perform maintenance activities in accordance with the equipment reliability program.
- Include steps in repair procedures to ensure that equipment is fit for service when it is turned over to the production team.
- Review test and inspection reports and either (1) repair deficiencies noted by the inspector or (2) document why repairs are not needed.
- Perform post-maintenance testing to ensure that the maintenance is properly performed and corrects the problem.
