Implementation Guidelines

If the engineering or maintenance department is not divided into unique sections or areas of responsibility, then only set up one section.

However, it is recommend that the organisation is split into unique sections as it provides a convenient means to break down reports thus enhancing the value of the reports.

For example, even if a workshop has only one electrician, one fitter and one plumber; set up an Electrical section, a Fitting section and a Plumbing section.
