Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PM checklist, and why does it matter?
A PM checklist is a structured list of inspection and maintenance steps performed at scheduled intervals to prevent equipment failure. Each item should be actionable and include an acceptance criterion so technicians produce consistent, auditable results that feed CMMS work history.
How do I write effective PM checklists?
Keep each row to a single action, add measurable acceptance criteria (e.g., torque, temperature), estimate time for route planning, and assign the required skill/trade. Pilot the checklist with one technician and refine before scaling.
How do I map PM checklists into my CMMS?
Export each checklist row as a single CSV line with columns like asset_id, task_name, frequency, estimated_time_mins, acceptance_criteria and assigned_role. Run a 10–25 row test import, verify recurrence and checklist verification's, then bulk import.
How often should I schedule checks, and how long should they be?
Base frequency on manufacturer guidance, criticality, and historical failure data. Keep daily routes short (10–20 checks) and monthly routes tighter (20–40 checks), depending on complexity—always test estimated times in a pilot to size routes correctly.
