APPENDIX A

FACILITY CONDITION INSPECTION

LESSON PLAN

1. The instructor should be familiar with the following background information:

a. The fundamental indicator of a well-maintained and efficiently operated facility is

the appearance and proper functioning of process systems and equipment. These

conditions are a direct reflection on the standards and attitudes of those who

manage and work within that facility.

b. One successful approach to improve facility and housekeeping conditions is to

establish a program which includes periodic inspections by management,

corrective actions for identified deficiencies, and follow-ups to ensure deficiency

correction.

c. The involvement of facility management personnel in periodic inspections and

walk-downs of operating equipment and spaces accomplishes the following two

important purposes:

those who have overall responsibility for the facility are provided regular

opportunities to see the condition of their responsibility, and

management is afforded a direct means to transmit their standards of excellence

to facility personnel.

2. To teach this lesson, the following training housekeeping items are required:

a. Location for the training,

b. Approximately 30 minute time period for the training,

c. Notification of selected employees, and

d. A copy of the facility condition and housekeeping inspection program.
