Work Categories
Broadly, maintenance is categorized into planned and unplanned types. While this general classification is useful for stakeholders, maintenance managers require a more detailed approach to effectively oversee their teams. Detailed categorization of work—such as inspection, preventive maintenance, and breakdown repairs—is crucial for accurate tracking and analysis.
Accurate records of execution time enable the monitoring of key metrics, including Mean Time to Repair (MTTR), adherence to schedules, the ratio of preventive to corrective maintenance, and comparisons between planned and unplanned downtime. This detailed tracking helps in managing the number of interventions and understanding breakdown patterns, ultimately leading to improved maintenance efficiency and operational performance.
Here are five categories of work orders to implement and help with your task assignment.

- Planned: Inspection and Preventive maintenance
- Planned Corrective
- Breakdown
- Minor Intervention
- Setup
