How to create a maintenance plan

A step-by-step guide to building a yearly maintenance plan

1

Compile the asset list

List every machine and piece of equipment to be maintained — with its identifier, location and criticality level. This is the foundation of the maintenance plan.

2

Define tasks and frequency

Assign maintenance tasks to each asset and set the frequency: daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. Take the manufacturer's specifications and your own experience into account.

3

Designate responsible people

Decide who is responsible for each task — an in-house technician, the technical lead or a subcontractor. Without clear ownership, there is no accountability.

4

Set SLA targets

Define the response time and repair deadline for critical and non-critical faults. This ensures your important equipment always takes priority.

5

Document completion

Document every completed task with a date, signature and comment. This is the foundation of traceability and regulatory compliance.

Why a paper maintenance plan isn't enough

There's nothing wrong with a paper maintenance plan — until you have to track it, update it or show it to an inspector

No one keeps the plan up to date

The yearly plan gets drawn up, then ends up in a drawer. Updates and tracking are zero.

You can't see what's slipping

A paper plan won't show which tasks are overdue or which machine got skipped.

No automatic reminders

Nothing alerts you to maintenance deadlines — only the breakdown does.

Compliance risk

During an inspection you can't prove that mandatory maintenance was actually carried out.

Automatic notifications

The system automatically reminds you of maintenance deadlines — push notification and email, so no task ever gets missed.

Automatic reports

KPI dashboards, maintenance costs, equipment utilization — at the press of a button, not by manual tallying.

Instant lookup

Any past maintenance can be found in seconds — filter by date, machine, worker or status.

Preventive maintenance

Schedule recurring maintenance tasks automatically. The system does the reminding, not you.

Regulatory compliance

Every change is logged. At an inspection, proving who did what and when is a single click.
