There are large numbers of high-cost, high-frequency and resource-intensive preventive maintenance performed on noncritical equipment without a return value in equipment reliability.

The effectiveness and composition of fix-it-now teams have challenged the industry’s ability to manage incoming work, protect the schedule and provide timely resolution of high-priority work.

A substantial amount of work is performed using an extensive work management process requiring detailed instructions, scheduling and coordination. All work activities that are minor in scope and complexity, do not require detailed work package planning, and do not increase the risk of a plant transient or other consequential event should be planned as minor maintenance.

Effective and efficient screening of incoming work is an important step in the work management process.
