2.3 Guidelines

2.3.1 Maintenance Organizational S tructure

A typical maintenance organization is composed of a maintenance division

manager and various departments with department managers. Organization charts

should indicate line and staff positions and interfaces within the maintenance

division and with the plant organization. Interfaces with committees, such as the

plant nuclear safety review group, should also be shown on the organization chart.

Position descriptions or equivalent procedural guidance should be used to

supplement the maintenance organization chart. Position descriptions should clearly

define the authorities, responsibilities, and qualifications for each management

position within the maintenance organization. Additionally, procedures and policies

that describe the functions and interfaces of the organization should be implemented.

Measures should be established to ensure that organization charts, position

descriptions, and related procedures are maintained current.

Maintenance Division Manager

The maintenance division manager is responsible for all aspects of

maintenance operations, including the safety and well-being of maintenance

personnel working at the plant. The maintenance division manager should be

aware of day-to-day maintenance activities. The maintenance division manager

reports to the plant manager. Although, he retains full responsibility for safe

and reliable operation of the maintenance division. Responsibilities of the

maintenance division manager should include the following:

Establishing high standards for the conduct of maintenance activities and

ensuring uniform adherence to those standards

Holding line managers accountable for performance in their areas of

responsibility

Establishing goals and objectives that promote safe, reliable, and efficient

maintenance operations

Ensuring the safety and well-being of assigned maintenance division

personnel ensuring that the plant is maintained in accordance with

corporate and plant policies and procedures and applicable regulatory

requirements
