1.1 Purpose

This guide is intended to assist facility maintenance operations in the review of existing

and in developing new programs to ensure maintenance work package planning, scheduling,

and coordination identifies all technical and administrative requirements for a work activity

and provides the materials, tools, and support activities needed to perform the work. It is

expected that each DOE facility may use different approaches or methods than those defined

in this guide. The specific guidelines that follow reflect generally accepted industry practices.

Therefore, deviation from any particular guideline would not, in itself, indicate a problem.

If substantive differences exist between the intent of the Guideline and actual practice,

management should evaluate current practice to determine the need to include/exclude

proposed features. A change to maintenance practice would be appropriate if a performance

weakness was determined to exist. Development, documentation, and implementation of other

features which further enhance these guidelines for specific applications, is encouraged.

Additional information pertinent to the implementation of this guideline is found in the

following DOE Guidelines:

M aintenance Personnel"
