Keep close communication with planning and operation for scheduled and emergency requirements of your department service.
Keep close communication with TS, W/H and Administration, and request as much as you need in order to complete the job on schedule.
Strive to get from your team accurate and complete information of the conditions of the equipment to work on the ‘as found’ portion of the WO. Fill up with the necessary repair/replace information on the ‘as left’ portion of the WO. If any foreign material is found in any equipment, get a sample and have it analyzed in the lab.
Make every effort to set up a culture of methodic behavior on the maintenance activities from starting a job, get all necessary documentation, procedures, tools and materials. To complete the job, follow up the required tests needed to assure the reliable service of the equipment attended.
Closely supervise and follow up the implementation of the culture of Zero error on lubrication activities.
Keep strict control of WO with “only visual inspection” and investigate the original request, do not close previous investigation without approval of Operation (we had bad experiences on visual inspection only). Disassembling, provided that spare parts are available, is preferable.
