Four processes. One maintenance system.
Every framework behind the tools, grouped by function — work management, shutdown, reliability and CMMS build.
Maintenance Work Management Process
The six-phase loop — Identify, Plan, Schedule, Perform, Record, Analyse. CMMS-agnostic and RCM-anchored.
Identify Work
Capture, validate, classify and approve every maintenance requirement before it enters the planning pipeline.
Plan Work
Convert identified work into complete, executable job plans — scope, safety, labour, materials, tools and documents.
Schedule Work
Allocate planned work to specific time periods and resources, balancing production, capacity and priorities.
Perform Work
Execute planned, scheduled maintenance safely, to plan, on time — and capture the data that closes the loop.
Record Work
Capture what actually happened, close out the work order, and feed the improvement loop.
Analyse Work
Convert recorded data into insight — drive the sustained maintenance loop and the continuous improvement loop.
Shutdown Process
The six gated phases of a shutdown, turnaround or outage — Establish, Plan, Prepare, Execute, Complete, Improve.
Establish
Set the long-term intervention outlook, authorise the event and lock the governance before a single job is planned.
Plan
Capture, challenge and validate the scope, build the work packs, the master schedule and the baselines — then freeze it.
Prepare
Turn the approved plan into physical readiness — materials, people, work fronts, permits and a hard go/no-go decision.
Execute
Shut down safely, release work fronts, run the schedule shift by shift and control emergent work without losing the plan.
Complete
Verify commissioning readiness, energise, test, start up, hand back to Operations and close the record properly.
Improve
Consolidate performance, review honestly, verify the benefits and return the learning to the next event before the team disperses.
Reliability Process
The reliability frameworks behind the strategy — RCM today, asset review, criticality and defect elimination next.
RCM — Reliability-Centred Maintenance
Seven phases from asset selection through to a living PM programme (SAE JA1011).
Asset Review
Structured review of asset performance, strategy fit and lifecycle decisions.
Criticality Assessment
Rank assets by consequence so effort lands where it pays.
Bad Actor & Defect Elimination
Find the repeat offenders and remove the defect, not just the symptom.
CMMS Build Guides
Hierarchy, master data, naming standards and governance for any CMMS.
CMMS Technical Build Guide
End-to-end reference for building a CMMS from a blank system — hierarchy, master data, PM strategy, work requests and reporting.
PM Master Data Creation Manual
Step-by-step workflow to create and sign off PM master data — equipment, task lists, PM plans and measuring points — for a new asset.
Object Type Component Naming Rules
The naming standard for object types and their components so master data stays consistent across sites, fleets and CMMS platforms.
CMMS Task List Numbering
The numbering standard that keeps task lists findable, groupable and reportable across the whole CMMS.
Task List Naming Convention
The description standard for task lists so planners find the right one and reports group them cleanly.
