Management system procedures manual

Basically, CMMS/EAM provides computer software programs designed to assist in the planning, management, and administrative procedures required for an effective maintenance process. The need for a maintenance management system, whether manual or computerized, is determined by the need to perform effective maintenance on assets, equipment and facilities. We can think of CMMS/EAM as providing the business system for maintenance operations.

The quality manual outlines the structure of the quality management system and reference procedures. 

Every analytical laboratory, governmental, private, or university, has a standard set of procedures that provide both general and specific information to laboratory members. These fall into certain categories, including the laboratory s standard operating procedures (SOPs), quality assurance/quality control manuals (QA/QC manuals), procedural manuals, analytical method files, and laboratory information management systems... 

The quality manual is the primary source of reference for the quality management system. It describes the policies and procedures the laboratory has to... 

The tasks of the analyst and the manager of the laboratory, as outlined in Figure 1, are redefined with the incorporation of expert systems into the laboratory procedures. Initially, the tasks which are to be performed by the expert system will be rudimentary and repetitive. Nonetheless, the manual performance of these tasks still requires the judgement and expertise of an analytical chemist or a skilled technician. An array of expert system modules can be incorporated into the normal functions of a fully automated laboratory information management system (a LIMS). The LIMS software would then be able to perform the following operations. 

Documentation and procedures Validation documentation, user and technical manuals, operation and maintenance, backup, security procedures, network management system, incident/problem management system Validation Plan updates of the user manual, system description or SOPs... 

Clear and proper procedures must be in place for using the system (procedures and/or user manual), backup and restoration, periodic evaluation, maintenance and problem management, safety and security, training. Disaster Recovery and Contingency Plans, business continuity, change control, and system retirement.

Establishing the requirements for a company s quality management systems, the ISO 9000 series provides a set of world-wide standards. Listing the features and characteristics required in the documented policies, manuals, and procedures of an organisation, its aim is to support a process of systematic quality assurance and control. However, rather than outlining the specific methods by which to achieve control, these standards represent a codification of the principles of control, enabling alternate interpretation and application across a wide range of environments. The series encompasses five individual standards ... 

The existing work management system and work control procedim DMP 3.01 in WSRC Procedure Manual RD 3.1 (Ref. 6-30) is used to control corrective and preventive maintenance activities in K-Reactor in Cold Standby and in the L- and P-Reactor Disassembly Basins. 

These statements appear in the Abstract MORT is a comprehensive analytical procedure that provides a disciplined method for determining the causes and contributing factors of major accidents. Alternatively, it serves as a tool to evaluate the quality of an existing [safety management] system. This MORT User s Manual is a 57-page paper issued in 1992. The concepts on which MORT is built have staying power, as is evidenced by the following reference puhhshed a decade later.
