Preventive Maintenance Routines
What has to be done to each asset, how often, and when it is next due — worked out from the last time it was done rather than remembered.

What it covers
Say what it does: "Grease the conveyor bearings", not "PM-3".
Picked from the asset register, so the routine and the work orders it raises are filed against the same machine.
How often
Running hours, kilometres or cycles between one service and the next.
Worked out from the last one. Nothing raises the work order for you — this is the list somebody reads on Sunday morning.
The work
One task per line, in the order they are done. It is what the technician takes with them.
