O
perators…what’s the defnition oF a
preventive maintenance program?
The answer goes something like this:
“A
preventive maintenance program prevents
breakdowns and failures through adjustment,
repair or replacement of equipment before a
major breakdown or failure occurs.”
That’s a good textbook answer.
Now, here’s another question:
“Who’s the
best person to know what condition your
unit’s equipment is in?”
The answer is simple.
It’s you–the operator. You’re the closest
person to the condition oF your equipment.
Think about that statement the next time
you’re pulling PMCS on a vehicle.
As an operator, you correct what you can,
and report what you can’t fx. So…just give
‘em the Facts on the vehicle’s inspection
worksheet. Don’t Fudge it!
Your
CO
uses
this
inFormation
to
determine the unit’s vehicle readiness. That
same inFo also determines which units are
ready For important assignments.
