How are lost checks defined?

Lost checks are defined as daily and situational checks that were not accomplished. This designation indicates that certain checks or maintenance tasks that should have been performed were missed, resulting in a potential gap in the overall maintenance and material management process. By identifying checks as lost, it helps highlight areas of concern in operational readiness and ensures that appropriate measures are taken to rectify the situation, ensuring compliance with maintenance schedules and safety standards.

The emphasis on both daily and situational checks underscores the comprehensive nature of the maintenance management framework, ensuring that no aspect of operational readiness is overlooked. Monitoring lost checks is critical because it helps maintain the integrity and effectiveness of maintenance programs.
