3.4.3.5

Performance of PM Tasks

PM tasks should be performed using procedures or instructions and

controlled by methods such as task cards or detailed PM job requests.

Coordination should be established in advance among other maintenance

groups and plant departments (e.g., operations, radiological protection,

and QC/QA). Good work practices, such as pre-job briefings, quality

craftsmanship, observations, data recordings, cleanliness, correct tool use,

and history update are essential to the PM task.

3.4.3.6

PM Program Evaluation

An evaluation of the PM program should be conducted annually by the

maintenance manager with assistance from the applicable/affected

operations, technical support, and engineering groups. This evaluation

should address the overall effectiveness of the program in improving plant

and/or equipment availability, as well as reducing the cost of maintenance.

This evaluation should consider PMs that are being performed

unnecessarily or excessively, thereby consuming valuable and limited

resources that may otherwise be used to upgrade other maintenance

programs. Additionally, excessive PM may increase item deterioration,

radiation exposures, maintenance errors, and rework. Items to be

considered in the evaluation should include, but not be limited to the

following:

a) adequacy of PM procedures as deemed by craftsperson feedback -

Appendix C provides an example of a craftsperson feedback form.

b) quality assurance audit reports and self assessment findings

c) failure trend reports for plant and industry equipment

d) licensee event reports

e) non-conformance reports

f) material deficiency reports

g) causes for deferrals
