Most technicians are asked to perform maintenance.

Very few are given the knowledge needed to perform it consistently.

A work order says:

“Inspect bearings.”

Okay.

What should they inspect?

  • Noise?
  • Temperature?
  • Lubrication condition?
  • Vibration?
  • Physical damage?

What are the acceptance criteria?

How should findings be documented?

The difference between average maintenance and world-class maintenance is often the quality of instructions provided.
