Management Monitoring

DOE-STD-1051-93

4.2.2 Management Monitoring

To provide the proper direction, management should develop and monitor

information sources to support decision making, both on a day-to-day basis and for

the long term. Management monitoring of maintenance activities should ensure

activities are conducted in accordance with desired management standards and

established policies and procedures and should facilitate early identification and

correction of problems.

There should be a high degree of management involvement in and observation of

day-to-day maintenance activities. A manager's routine should include tours of the

work place and discussions with personnel assigned to conduct maintenance

activities.

Management monitoring of maintenance activities should also include a program

for monitoring maintenance performance through reporting and trending of selected

parameters. The monitoring program should provide maintenance data that is

trended, analyzed, and forwarded to appropriate levels of management.

4.2.3 Management A sses s ment

The information provided by the management monitoring program should be

assessed to determine the root cause(s) of performance problems or adverse trends

and necessary corrective actions. Follow-up monitoring is necessary to determine

the effectiveness of corrective actions. Management assessment should include the

effective use of lessons learned from in-house and industry operating experience.

4.2.4 Management Control of Plant Configuration

To ensure that plant structures, sy stems, and components continue to conform to

approved design requirements and are properly reflected in maintenance procedures,

drawings, vendor technical manuals and training materials, management should

implement a program for identifying these requirements and controlling change.
