Program Evaluation and Upgrade

DOE-STD-1052-93

f) An overall evaluation of the predictive maintenance program should

be conducted annually by the maintenance manager. This evaluation

should address the overall effectiveness of the program. Items to be

considered in the evaluation are procedure adequacy, in-plant and

industry operating experience, quality assurance audit reports and self

assessment findings, failure trends, licensee event reports, non-

conformance reports, material deficiency reports.

g) Based on the above evaluations and input, the following examples of

predictive maintenance program changes should be considered:

1) adding or deleting equipment in the program

2) adding or deleting predictive maintenance activities on a particular

piece of equipment

3) identifying the need for new, upgraded, or additional monitoring

equipment and software

4) proposing plant design changes

5) adjusting task intervals

h) The predictive maintenance program evaluation and upgrade also may

be integrated into the overall preventive maintenance program review.
