Little has been done in most facilities to standardize maintenance planning. \u00a0Strategies vary from planner to planner and in many facilities, last year\u2019s plan is used without modification, or there is no plan at all.<\/p>\n
To improve facility management performance, your plan for next year should build on what you have learned this year. \u00a0Below are the first two parts of a maintenance plan format example:<\/p>\n
Introduction:<\/strong><\/p>\n This stage of the planning process sets the scope and the tone. \u00a0Usually this stage consists of a purpose statement. \u00a0Your goal is to outline the needs of the facility, the general desired outcomes from the maintenance department, the time frame of the plan, etc.<\/p>\n Performance Expectations:<\/strong><\/p>\n In this stage, the relevant performance expectations of the maintenance plan are detailed. \u00a0This might include energy cost reductions, facility improvement projects, recycling goals, and business factors that affect maintenance.<\/p>\n Your objective at this stage is to set goals that are achievable and strategic to the facility.\u00a0 Trying to outline all of the factors important to the facility is unrealistic.<\/p>\n
