CORE templates provide standard, performance-based maintenance work order shells. Independently of scope, users select parts, failures/causes and failure control PM/monitoring strategies, adjusting pre-blocked work scopes. Planners and maintenance engineers specify PM tasks using tag-out or other boundaries. Planners re-block maintenance tasks in new, ad hoc equipment work scopes.

Maintenance work order scopes assemble maintenance tasks blocks based upon equipment tag-out, schedule and work performance requirements. Maintenance work orders that overhaul equipment perform many tasks. Other services supplementing overhaul may include contracted parts, supply strategies, service(s), and completed work measurement.

Maintenance work orders and operator rounds implement scheduled maintenance. Rounds address simple, routine checks and tests. CMMS system schedule PM work orders include

• Condition assessment tasks
• Failure-finding tests
• Hard-time replacements

Out-of-range conditions trigger condition-directed maintenance. Performing maintenance work orders requires efficiently grouping multiple tasks. Traditionally, CMMS maintenance work order system "engines" scheduled, coordinated and loaded maintenance work order tasks. CMMS systems also prioritize condition-directed work orders. In RCMtrim^TM, independent work order PM tasks flexibly define work order scope separately from identified PM tasks.
