What should happen once corrective action is completed in maintenance?

Once corrective action is completed in maintenance, the appropriate next step is to review, approve, or reject the corrective action. This process is essential to ensure that the corrective actions taken have effectively resolved the issue without introducing new problems.

The review stage involves evaluating all aspects of the completed maintenance to confirm that it meets the necessary standards and specifications. This may involve checking the work performed against maintenance procedures, ensuring that parts replaced or repaired are functioning correctly, and that all safety and operational protocols have been adhered to. Approving the corrective actions signifies that the work has been validated and can be trusted for safe and effective operation, while rejecting it would prompt further investigation or revisions to ensure compliance and reliability.

This systematic approach helps maintain equipment reliability and safety, allowing for a structured verification process that benefits overall operational readiness and asset management.
