Effective daily schedules are needed to implement the maintenance activity plans

represented by the integrated schedule. Management should track and periodically

assess performance to the daily schedule. Effectiveness of the daily scheduling process

during normal operation should be a good indicator of how effective the daily schedule

may be during outages.

The integrated schedule should be reviewed by those responsible for implementation.

It should be accepted and widely used by personnel involved in maintenance activities.

Preparation of schedules for contingencies should decrease the time necessary to

respond to problems if they occur and increase the information available for decision

making.

A maintenance job request priority coding sy stem should be established to aide in

scheduling maintenance activities. An example of such a coding sy stem is as follows:

Critical (C): Equipment or sy stems that shall operate greater than 90 percent of the

time. Being out of service for one working day may result in imminent and

significant environmental damage; potential to expose personnel to serious health

and safety damage, including injury or death; breach of security; or interruption

of production or experiment.

Urgent (U): Equipment, sy stems, or experiments important to plant goals and

which when out of service may result in a significant interruption of production

or experiment. Importance is great enough to justify diverting personnel from

other assignments and to work overtime, based on real-time circumstances.

Required uptime is greater than 80 percent.

Priority (P): Equipment, sy stems, or experiments important to plant goals but

which have backup or redundant hardware. Required uptime is greater than 70

percent.

R outine (R ): Equipment, sy stems, or experiments not meeting one of above

categories which may be worked in most economical manner.

3.1.3 Coordination

Plant maintenance activities may be complex projects involving large numbers of

personnel. Resources to support the activities should be coordinated in a timely,

controlled manner to ensure that they are ready to support the schedule. The types of

resources to be considered include personnel, material, expendable supplies, special

tools, and services.
