What is typically included in the maintenance action form?

The inclusion of a description of the maintenance action taken in the maintenance action form is essential for accurately documenting what work has been performed. This description provides critical information about the nature of the maintenance, the specific tasks completed, and any observations made during the process. It serves as a record that can be referenced for future maintenance activities or inspections to ensure that the work carried out is understood and can be evaluated in the context of overall equipment reliability and performance.

Having a clear and detailed account of the maintenance action helps facilitate communication among maintenance personnel, ensures compliance with operational procedures, and supports effective planning for future maintenance needs. Additionally, it aids in analysis for trend identification and the continuous improvement of maintenance processes, which aligns with the goals outlined in the 3-M Manual for maintaining equipment and operational readiness.
