How is preventative maintenance monitored?

Preventative maintenance is effectively monitored through the use of the Automated Maintenance Management System (AMCS), which provides a systematic approach to managing maintenance activities. The Maintenance Due List (MDL) is a critical component of this system, as it organizes and identifies all upcoming maintenance tasks that need attention based on established schedules. This automated process streamlines the tracking of maintenance requirements, ensuring that preventive tasks are not overlooked and helping to maintain the reliability and operational efficiency of equipment and systems.

In contrast, the other methods mentioned—manual logging and daily inspections, quarterly audits and reports, and external compliance checks—can supplement preventative maintenance but do not offer the same comprehensive and systematic oversight as the AMCS and MDL. Manual logging may be subject to human error and inconsistency, while audits and compliance checks are often retrospective and focus on confirming that processes are being followed, rather than proactively managing the scheduling of maintenance tasks. Therefore, the use of AMCS and the MDL is a more robust and efficient means of monitoring preventative maintenance.
