inspections, and test results received from the vendor

which relate to routine or PM servicing, parts, changes to

as-built drawings, etc. Engineering support personnel

should review this information and ensure it is filed and

properly applied.

3.4.2 Maintenance History Utilization

3.4.2.1

Engineering Reviews

Equipment failures should be analyzed promptly.

Abnormal trends noted during diagnostic monitoring

should be analyzed and corrective action recommended in

a timely manner. In addition, periodic engineering

reviews of the maintenance history file should be

conducted in accordance with a schedule recommended

by the engineering support supervisor and approved by

the responsible manager. Component files should be

reviewed at least every two years. The purpose of the

review is to determine if recurring maintenance problems

or other performance trends indicate a need for corrective

maintenance. The assigned engineer should determine the

probable cause and recommend a course of action. This

may result in corrective maintenance, component

modification or replacement, a change in the preventive

or predictive maintenance schedule, or a change in a

procedure. The assigned engineer should track

performance after corrective action has been performed to

ensure deficiencies have been corrected.
