Overview

The scope of this exchange requirement is to support the exchange of information concerning maintenance plans.
A maintenance plan is a type of work plan in which the work tasks that are planned are specifically related the assets that are to be maintained. That is, the maintenance plan will provide a listing of all the maintenance tasks that must be undertaken and the period that can elapse between successive performances of the same task. A maintenance plan does not identify the actual dates on which work should be undertaken. This is the function of a maintenance schedule and this is described elsewhere..
Additionally, a maintenance plan may define required resources to perform tasks in terms of the skills or capabilities required. It is not expected that a maintenance plan will identify actors by name.
For instance, the shaft bearings of a pump impeller may require lubrication once each year with the work being undertaken by a Class 1 Lubrication Specialist. This is a work description that can form the basis of a maintenance plan.
For a maintenance plan, the following information will be needed:

• The maintenance tasks that are to be undertaken with, for each task:
  • Identity of the task (using the general form of identification or breakdown structure adopted for the project)
  • The name of the task (i.e. how it will be shown in a chart)
  • Any further useful description (which may be provided if required).
  • Indication that this is not a milestone task (note that a task is required to be identified as to whether or not it is a milestone; this is not considered to be appropriate for a maintenance plan and the value should therefore be set to FALSE by default.
• The assets on which the work is done
• For each task on a particular asset, the period of time between occasions when the work is carried out.
