57: Troubleshooting/Corrective Action Issue
Definition/Typical Issues
Were the routine servicing and inspection (rounds) being performed at the wrong frequency? Do the routine servicing and inspection (rounds) fail to cover all areas that are specified?
Examples
Example 1
- During routine rounds, the operators found leaking valves. They were supposed to attempt corrective maintenance immediately. However, operators did not always attempt repairs until leaks were more severe.
Example 2
- As part of routine rounds, operators are supposed to blow down the receivers for all of the air compressors to remove condensate. However, the operators did not always blow the compressors down completely.
Typical Recommendations
- Ensure that rounds are performed as required.
- Ensure that all equipment is covered on rounds as required.
- Include steps in repair procedures to ensure that equipment is fit for service when it is turned over to the production team.
- Provide training for personnel on repair techniques.
- Perform field inspections to identify routine inspection and servicing tasks that are not being properly implemented.
- Review maintenance records to assess the effectiveness of the routine inspection and servicing program.
