Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1Establish maintenance requirements
  • 1.1 Equipment specifications, service requirements and workplace procedures are checked for recommended maintenance intervals and processes
  • 1.2 Special requirements for maintenance of storage zones are identified
  • 1.3 Comparisons with previous experience, future equipment use, work requirements and standard operating procedures are made to inform the planning process
  • 1.4 Work plan and work schedule are developed
  • 1.5 Contractors and/or maintenance providers (internal/external) are identified
  • 1.6 Costings for process are identified based on work schedule (equipment/staff off-line), equipment manufacturers recommendations, charges for materials, equipment and consumables and external/internal labour charges
