Maintenance Management System Auditing

Service summary

A review of maintenance planning, execution and oversight against defined operational requirements. The audit examines how planned work, breakdown response and resource decisions support reliable maintenance delivery.

Findings provide evidence of maintenance discipline and record reliability. The service does not certify equipment integrity or design a maintenance strategy on the organisation’s behalf.

Key objectives

• Assess maintenance planning and execution
• Examine backlog and breakdown management
• Evaluate competence and spare-parts controls
• Identify record and follow-through weaknesses

Methodology

Selected assets and work orders are traced through maintenance planning, execution and closure, with supporting operational evidence.

• Agree asset groups, maintenance criteria and assessment boundaries.
• Review maintenance plans, backlog reports and breakdown trends.
• Select preventive tasks, failures and overdue work orders.
• Observe relevant maintenance activities and workshop controls.
• Examine competence, parts, completion evidence and return-to-service approvals.
• Evaluate recurring failures and corrective action follow-through.
• Report maintenance control findings and evidence limitations.
