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

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. pete

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.
