Hello,
I am trying to put a factory maintenance system in place. I understand that prevention is better than cure and that sticking to the manufacturers guidelines is always a safe bet.
What I'm trying to introduce is a Log book style system where faults can be documented and attended too, as they are reported. This would then allow for the tasks to be signed off as and when they are completed.
It would show that we are making an effort to tackle the problems that crop up alongside our normal routine maintenance.
Does anybody have a digital template in either word or excel (or something similar) that they would be willing to share?
Any constructive advice is always welcome.
Many thanks,
Pete

This reminded me of a document I read a few years back, but didn't save the link. It's not going to answer your question (apologies) - but there is good research that suggests PPM isn't always the best option. This link touches on what I remember being containted in the document of a few years back (I used it to help our then-Maintenance Managers review their maintenance regimes and remove some PPM based inspections in favour fo predictive / condition based maintenance. http://www.maintenanceon...articles.asp&id=5917

Hi Jake,
Correct in that it doesn't answer my question. It does offer me an interesting alternative to the maintenance schedule that we have. Thank you for taking the time to look it up and post this.

manufactures recommendations are only guides [with in-built disclaimers] -the risk assessment will direct you

However would you ignore the manufacturer's guides unless you put something better in place?
Wide open to HSE criticism if something went wrong methinks.

Hi
You could try using the OH manuals and the manufacturers instructions to design your PPM and service requirements, and combine this with a simple log book for immediate faults.
