Preventive Maintenance Program: Evaluation and Recommendations for Improvements

Abstract

This report evaluates the Army Preventive Maintenance Program for buildings and structures, and utilities, discusses problems with the program, and recommends solutions. The evaluation describes preventive maintenance documentation and operating procedures, including the Self-Help Program for family and troop housing, analyzes the exiting variations in performance of preventive maintenance, and looks at the quality of the exiting preventive data and recordkeeping information as it is kept in the Integrated Facilities Systems records. The data obtained show that significant improvements could be made to the program and to the record keeping that would result in significant cost reductions to real property maintenance and repair costs. Based on the results of the analysis,recommendations are given for improving the existing preventive maintenance methods and procedures in resource management and decision support. Keywords: Preventive Maintenance, Army Personnel.
