As the maintenance and repair record indicates the cost of maintenance for the specific item of plant and equipment, a simple system may be used to provide recognition of the different methods by which the work has been carried out, e.g. 

Recourse to the maintenance and repair records or a visual aid enables the engineer to establish if the planned maintenance tasks that are not to be carried out had been maintained either during the previous scheduled visit or, when next due, a planned maintenance visit. If not carried out as programmed, the engineer must ensure that the period over which no planned maintenance is proposed does not exceed any known maintenance/operational requirement. 

Further to the engineer s examination of the returned work dockets, purchase requisitions can be placed for parts, specialist contractors attendance, etc. On completion of all the technical aspects of the process, the information regarding the service carried out on the plant and equipment can then be entered in the maintenance and repair record by the administration. 

Equipment inspection, maintenance, and repair records can be recorded in a logbook especially designed for that purpose. For equipment that is moved from laboratory to laboratory, the logbook should accompany the equipment when it is moved. Documentation of calibrating or standardizing operations, on the other hand, may be more efficiently recorded with the associated records of the data acquisition activities. 

Check all inspections and relevant records, such as DVIRs, pre-trip and annual inspections, and maintenance and repair records, to ensure that company inspection, repairing, and maintenance policies and procedures are adhered to and properly documented. 

Miscellaneous Direct Costs Estimates for the cost of maintenance and repairs, operating supplies, royalties, and patents are best based on company records for similar processes. A rough average value for the annual cost of maintenance is 6 percent of the capital cost of the plant. This percentage can vaiy from 2 to 10 percent, depending on the severity of plant operation. Approximately half of the maintenance costs are for materials and half for labor. Royalty and patents costs are in the order of 1 to 5 percent of the sales price of the product. 

Maintenance and production records, along with the used lean and rich glycol analyses, can be very helpful to the troubleshooter. A history of filter element, carbon, tower packing, and firetube changeouts can sometimes be very revealing. The frequency of pump repairs and chemical cleaning jobs is also beneficial. With this type of knowledge, the troubleshooter can quickly eliminate and prevent costly problems. 

The records display a pattern of maintenance and repair that is rarely visible elsewhere and can show less severe equipment damage trends that can lead to total failure. As such, it is possible to determine the total number of failures and failure severity. 

Although computer equipment is used differently to other field equipment, raw data are being generated consequently, maintenance records are required. All maintenance and repairs to the computer system need to be recorded. For example, software and hardware maintenance records would include system/program updates, disk scans, and defragmentation (e.g., preventative maintenance). Repair records might include communication with the software developer about problems/bugs and steps taken to fix any software or hardware problems. Documentation must include whether the... 

All instrument maintenance, service, and repair records should be available to, and usable by, the technical staff operating the equipment. These records are to be retained for the hfe of the instrument. This information can be invaluable for troubleshooting purposes.

Maintenance and repair documentation may be requested during an inspection by a GMP regulator. Documentation for maintenance activities must include a description of the operations performed, who conducted the maintenance and when, and the results confirming that the maintenance work was completed satisfactorily. Cahbration certificates should be retained. Repair records, meanwhile, should include a description of the problem, corrective action taken, acceptance testing criteria, and the results confirming that the repair work has restored the computer system to an operational state. Repair logbooks can be used to record nonroutine repair and maintenance work. 

The most common method of identifying and monitoring corrosion is visual inspection. Evidence of leakage, staining, or a change in surface appearance can be an indication that some type of corrosion is taking place. Experience with certain types of equipment and processes may help dictate inspection intervals and areas on which to focus the inspection. Records of vessel operation, maintenance, and repair can be helpful in establishing a pattern of performance that will improve predictability and minimize down time. 

Records shall be kept for application of equipment that is used in production and quality control, in order to record the actual conditions of its uses, maintenance and repairing. These records shall be kept by a defined person. 

Implementation includes compiling information using forms and procedures. For example, there will be accident and incident records and reports. There will be tracking of hazardous materials. There will be methods for making information available on hazardous materials for all organizational units that need the data. There is a need to compile information on safety-driven maintenance and repair of equipment and systems. 

Subindustries. Ultrasound supports a number of subindustries, including maintenance and repair. Ultrasound equipment is connected to devices such as printers, photographic equipment, and video recorders. Consumables must be replenished. These include coupling gel, film, videotapes, and printer paper. Needles and syringes are necessary for performing an amniocentesis. A number of specialized instruments are manufactured for tissue biopsy or ovum extraction. Textbooks and other educational resources are purchased by practitioners. Other educational material is marketed for the public. 

Almost 25% of all reportable electrical accidents involve portable electrical equipment (known as portable appliances). While most of these accidents were caused by electric shock, over 2000 fires each year are started by faulty cables used by portable appliances, caused by a lack of effective maintenance. Portable electrical tools often present a high risk of injury, which is frequently caused by the conditions under which they are used. These conditions include the use of defective or unsuitable equipment and, indeed, the misuse of equipment. There must be a system to record the inspection, maintenance and repair of these tools. 

Access to all sites of the OPCW and key components of the IMS, such as the servers and mass storage devices, must be controlled. All hardware in the confidential part of the IMS and especially workstations, servers and user terminals shall be protected, not only from theft or criminal damage, but also from unauthorised physical access and tampering attempts. In addition, maintenance and repair activities on IMS hardware shall be supervised and recorded. Access to such hardware items as servers, printers, back-up devices, as well as other output devices, shall be limited to staff members with appropriate clearances.

When equipment or plant is taken out of service, either for maintenance or for repair, it should not be re-introduced into service without being subject to formal acceptance tests that are designed to verify that it meets your declared standard operating conditions. Your procedures need to provide for such activities and for records of the tests to be maintained. 

System Reliability Service Varied Status reports contain failure, repair, and maintenance data on 450 categories data sets are broader A wide variety of equipment failure and performance records from utilities and manufacturers, plus collected inspection data 75. 

Maintenance embraces regular inspection, periodic examination by competent persons , and repairs. All maintenance on equipment used with chemicals should be properly planned and recorded. Maintenance operations, particularly those which are non-routine, require a sound system of work with strict administrative procedures, e.g. permit-to-work, to avoid risks arising from modifications to established safe practices. A permit-to-work should be used wherever the method by which a job is done is likely to be critical to the safety of the workers involved, nearby workers, or the public it is required whenever the safeguards provided in normal operations are no longer available. Examples include ...
