A calendar is useful when it leads to recognizable and recorded interventions. Preventive maintenance requires linking periodicity, machine and operation, then checking that the expected work has actually been carried out.
Maintenance calendars
- Identifies the calendar used by the organization or facility.
- Check working days and exclusion periods.
- Associate the calendar with the schedule when expected.
- Compare a test deadline with the resulting calendar.
Generation and recording of preventive activities
- Control the path and parameters that generate the deadlines.
- Identify the expected activity in the correct period.
- Record date, outcome and values requested after execution.
- Check that the activity is in the history and that the next deadline is consistent.
Putting this into practice
In a group’s weekly check-in, check that the intended operation is still relevant and that the generated activity is being followed up. Moving a date does not document the performance.
