APS’
Approach to Preventive Maintenance
APS researches OEM technical
literature and other documentation such as industry standards and
Government regulations to identify required or appropriate PM tasks and
task frequencies. Based on our research and good engineering judgment,
APS develops equipment-specific PM procedures that include:
-
Specific, clearly stated action
steps for the performance of each PM task
-
Information or data to be
recorded during the performance of the PM
-
Appropriate warnings or cautions
relating to specific equipment
-
Acceptance criteria and action
to be taken upon out of specification results
-
Special tools and equipment
needed for PM performance
-
Recommended frequency of the PM
