Know what matters
1. Every asset that can stop production is in one registerNot split across three spreadsheets and someone's memory.
2. Each asset has a criticality (A / B / C) that production and maintenance agree onA = stops the line or creates a safety risk when it fails.
3. Every A asset has a named ownerOne person who answers for its condition.
A plan for every critical asset
4. Every A asset has a written task listSteps, tools, safety precautions and the spares it uses.
5. Every A asset has a PM plan, by calendar or by meterRunning hours, cycles or km for assets that wear with use.
6. The readings that trigger PM are actually taken and recordedA meter-based plan with no readings never comes due.
7. The crew can see what is due at least a week aheadSo parts, permits and people are ready before the day.
Proof the work was done
8. You can show who did the last PM on each A asset, and whenIn under a minute, without asking around.
9. Closing a job needs evidence, not just a tickChecklist steps, a photo or a reading.
10. The record proves someone was physically at the assetNot a back-office tick at the end of the shift.
Parts on the shelf
11. The critical spares of each A asset are listedA bill of materials per asset.
12. Those spares have a minimum stock and someone watching itReorder before the breakdown, not after.
Safety
13. Isolation points are listed per asset, and hazardous work goes through a permitHot work, lock-out, confined space, work at height.
Learning from failures
14. Breakdowns record a failure cause, not just the repairSo repeat failures become visible.
15. PM compliance and repeat failures are reviewed every monthWith the numbers, not opinions.
Your score
13–15: a strong program; the next gain is proof and trends. 9–12: gaps on your critical assets; start with the unticked items in the first two groups. 8 or fewer: maintenance is running on memory, and the next breakdown will be expensive.
Mantix covers every check: one asset register with criticality and condition grade, task lists and PM by calendar or meter, NFC tap at the asset to start and close work, BOM-linked spares, permits to work, and failure-cause reports. See the founding pilot.
