Setting Up Maintenance Routines
The cell needs a routine from the first week, not the first failure.
What to establish
| Element | Practice |
|---|---|
| Schedule | Tasks by interval, based on the manual and duty cycle |
| Ownership | Named person accountable for completion |
| Records | Consistent format with findings and actions |
| Spares | Stock levels tied to the schedule |
| Escalation | What stops production and what can wait |
Practical notes
- Put the schedule into the maintenance system so it is issued, not remembered.
- Review intervals after six months against actual findings.
- Include cleaning and inspection, not only replacement tasks.
Intervals should follow the manufacturer manual and your own operating experience.
