You have a maintenance dependency.

What happens when they:

  • Retire?
  • Change jobs?
  • Take vacation?
  • Call in sick?

Critical maintenance knowledge should live in systems, procedures, and job aids—not in people’s heads.

The goal is not to make people replaceable.

The goal is to make knowledge accessible.
