Appendix C: Maintenance History Program

DOE-STD-1068-94

A maintenance history program is the data Source for information to make

changes to equipment maintenance and ultimately its performance. This

program receives its information from completed corrective maintenance

actions, logbook and record keeping systems, and predictive maintenance

analysis. Some criteria for a maintenance history program includes the

following:

The program should clearly define and identify the systems and

equipment that require documentation and retention of historical data.

This assignment should be based on a graded-approach. Also,

equipment requiring repetitive maintenance should be included in the

history program.

Data collected should Include:

details of work performed,

special equipment and tools used,

procedures or drawings needed,

spare parts installed,

personnel safety and radiation protection requirements, and

other designated useful information.

Planners, coordinators, field supervisors, and craftspersons should use

maintenance history regularly as a planning tool. Some uses of

maintenance history data are as follows:

support data needs for equipment failure analysis,

input for assessments of maintenance improvement programs,

data support for adjustments to the preventive maintenance

program,

planning for postmaintenance testing,

for budget preparation, and

to enhance equipment life extension programs.

Discuss with the trainees the maintenance history program.
