should be conducted to effectively coordinate maintenance division activities.

2.3.6 A dministrative Controls

Purpose

Maintenance division administrative controls should ensure effective planning

and control of maintenance activities. The administrative controls that affect

safe and reliable plant operation are of particular importance. However, any

administrative controls that would improve personnel performance or more

clearly define responsibilities should be considered. Administrative controls for

specific areas are discussed in more detail in the appropriate sections of these

guidelines.

Format

Maintenance division administrative controls should be written in a consistent

format to assist in their effective development and implementation. The

required format for the different types of administrative controls (e.g., policies,

procedures, and checklists) should be clearly defined. Administrative controls

should be written in a manner that is easily understood and that adequately

addresses the subject matter. Lower-tier administrative procedures should be

consistent with those at the plant level to ensure continuity among various plant

departments and activities.

Content

The content of maintenance division administrative controls should provide

the expected users with easily understandable information. The use of a writers

guide or similar document has proven to be helpful in achieving effective

results. Standard names for plant work groups, positions, locations, sy stems,

and equipment should be established and used.
