3.6 Coordination Guidelines

3.6.1 Organization and Supervision

Extensive involvement of managers and supervisors in maintenance activities ensures

timely completion of work, quality of completed work, and safety of personnel and

equipment. Timely corrective actions should be taken when performance deficiencies

are noted.

Supervisors should routinely monitor maintenance work in progress to ensure timely

availability of support services and coordination with other activities and to ensure that

activities are performed in accordance with plant policies and procedures. Particular

emphasis should be given to the following areas in training supervisors:

monitoring on-going work to control quality and progress

providing accurate and timely work status reporting

coordinating support and interface work activities

ensuring the timely availability of tools, supplies, and parts

understanding schedule interpretation and use

Supervisory controls should be applied to verification of tagouts prior to opening piping,

valves, or mechanical equipment or working on electrical equipment. Additionally,

specific precautions should be taken to exclude foreign material intrusion into open

sy stems.

3.6.2 Prejob Coordination

Coordination of maintenance activities may involve detailed integration and timely

implementation of many interrelated activities. Planners should be responsible for

identifying and planning these interrelated activities, but the actions of managers and

supervisors determine the success of completing the scheduled work.

Specific coordination and integration activities that should be considered by the line

supervisors in preparing for work include the following:

effective integration of plant sy stem operation and maintenance activities to ensure

proper plant conditions, timely equipment or sy stem tagouts, initiation and

completion of maintenance or modifications, and timely performance of

inspections
