Preventive maintenance is the work you do so the repair call never happens. Inspection, cleaning, wear-part replacement and performance verification, on a schedule set by the manufacturer and the device's own history — done properly it converts unplanned downtime into planned downtime, which is the whole point.
Findings are reported plainly, including the ones that mean a device should be taken out of service.
A preventive maintenance programme is only as good as its completion rate. A schedule that is 70 percent complete is not a programme; it is a list of devices someone intended to look at, and inspectors read the gap rather than the intent.
Coverage in Illinois is organised around getting a technician to the equipment quickly. Downtime is measured from when the device stopped, not from when the paperwork started.
Scope is written down before the work begins, including what is excluded. Most disputes about equipment service are really disputes about scope that nobody put in writing.
Service records are read at the worst possible moment - after an incident, during an accreditation survey, in discovery. That is the audience they should be written for, which means legible, specific and dated rather than signed off in bulk.
Quotes are specific to the equipment in front of you. The scope is agreed before the work is quoted, not after it is done.
