A work sampling program should be used to establish and update baseline effectiveness

values and to assess the impact of imposed constraints and limitations such as radiation

contamination control and historical repair time versus engineered time standards to provide

for productivity improvements.

Maintenance workmanship standards used to gauge and ensure an appropriate level of

performance are those consensus standards associated with specific maintenance activities

such as:

National Electric Code

Asbestos Abatement Standards

OSHA regulations

National Standards for Calibration and Certification

Garage (vehicle) repair/service standards

Warranty/guarantee stipulations

FCC telecommunications regulations

Davis-Bacon Act

Waste Stream Management

ALARA Contamination Control

Plant housekeeping standards

Environmental regulations

A Real-Property Cost Collection System (using a series of blanket work orders for each

building) may be used to assist in identifying cost drivers associated with Plant buildings and

structures.

Programmatic maintenance support should be identified by accounting work orders

associated with specific programmatic activity.

Current cost drivers which usurp maintenance resources normally allocated to facility

maintenance and production/process equipment tasks include:

Safety Class Items

OSHA and environmental compliance

Various upgrades
