Whatever your product or equipment, a well produced Maintenance Manual can help ensure that the correct maintenance is carried out at the right time, using the right tools, and that the necessary spares and consumables are available.

A Maintenance Manual would typically consist of 3 parts:

• Part 1 – A Maintenance Schedule
  Based on your recommendations / requirements, your supplier recommendations / requirements, any regulatory requirements, this would be a detailed plan showing all planned maintenance activities for a defined period of time (typically 3 or 5 years).
• Part 2 – Maintenance Procedures or Maintenance Instructions
  Detailed maintenance routines. Routines can include a variety of information types in addition to the procedure / instruction, eg safety requirements, PPE requirements, disciplines required, manpower required, spare parts required, tools required, etc.
• Part 3 – Spares
  A listing of required spares with holding number. Detailed parts drawings identifying all suppliable parts / spares. Details of how to order spares / parts. Specification of consumables.

These can be delivered either as printed paper documents or as electronic files in a client preferred application.
