Key configuration elements

Here are some key configuration elements in a maintenance procedure:

Scheduling

Defines the frequency of the procedure — either as a one-time event or a recurring task. Scheduling may be based on time, counters, or events.

Triggers

Procedures support multiple triggers. The first condition met will activate the procedure for execution.

Competent personnel

Specifies the skill set or role required to perform the procedure. Ensures only authorized personnel carry out specialized tasks.

Planned hours

Estimated time required to perform the procedure. May vary depending on the assigned personnel group or external supplier.

Groups

Allows categorization and filtering of procedures for reporting or operational grouping.

Nested procedures

Enables inclusion of smaller procedures within a larger parent procedure, supporting modular and reusable workflows.

Documents

Reference materials such as step instructions, diagrams, or videos. Attached to the procedure or individual steps.

Materials

Includes spare parts, tools, or consumables. May be defined per step or through a bill of materials (BOM).
