Execute & Complete Maintenance Work

Execute

The execute step involves completing the maintenance work according to the approved schedule, which includes preparing equipment for maintenance, monitoring tasks, providing feedback on work progress, managing shift handovers and additional work, and in conjunction with production, commissioning equipment after the maintenance work is finished.

Prior to performing any scheduled maintenance work, it is critical to modify the status of work orders that are going to be performed to reflect that the work is in progress. Prior to beginning work, time should be made out to read through the work pack and provide input on the duration and resource estimates; are they adequate to perform the work efficiently? Any spare parts required for the job are obtained and inspected.

Complete Work

Correctly completing work orders strives to capture useful information from maintenance tasks performed in order to enable continual improvement. It includes recording the resources used and duration to complete the work, including contractors, spares, rotables, internal labour, and shared equipment; recording delays or problems, relevant maintenance history, and failure coding to enable future troubleshooting and reliability analysis; cleaning the work area; and returning tools, equipment, unused materials, warranty, and repairable items, which is critical for accurate cost and performance measurement.

Completed work orders should be updated and closed off on a daily basis, with full details of the job performed provided. Any faults or problems with the scope of work should be noted on the work order or work pack, which should then be reviewed by the supervisor and sent back to the planner. The supervisor should review all completed work orders and make sure the maintainer has indicated any delays encountered during the task.
