Service planning

Schedule maintenance around production.

Request preventive maintenance, inspection, fault diagnosis, or controls support. Timing and pricing are confirmed after the system, site, and required scope are reviewed.

Maintenance policy

Clear expectations before a visit.

These are reasonable standard principles for maintenance enquiries. The final scope, service levels, warranty treatment, and commercial terms are defined in the accepted proposal or service agreement.

Scheduling and notice

Planned maintenance should be requested as early as practical. A preferred date is not confirmed until scope, technician availability, access, and pricing are agreed. For routine work, allow at least 10 business days where possible.

Safety and site readiness

The customer must provide safe access, site induction, permits, isolation support, and an authorised site contact. Equipment presenting an immediate risk must be stopped and isolated under the customer’s safety procedures.

Scope, parts, and additional work

The agreed visit covers the confirmed scope. Parts, consumables, specialist access equipment, travel, and additional repairs require approval and are priced by enquiry before proceeding where practicable.

Service records

Following a completed visit, the service record should identify work performed, observed condition, outstanding risks, recommended actions, and the suggested next review interval.

Request maintenance scheduling

Submit the preferred timing and system details. A confirmed booking is only created after scope, availability, site access, and pricing are agreed.

Submitting this form is a scheduling request, not a confirmed appointment or emergency response commitment. If equipment presents an immediate safety risk, stop and isolate it under your site procedures.

Plan cadence

How often is maintenance scheduled?

The signed maintenance plan lists each covered asset, its service interval, planned tasks, and exclusions. The final interval follows manufacturer requirements and the assessed duty cycle, environment, safety risk, and production criticality—whichever requires the more frequent review.

Every 3 months

High-utilisation

A planning option for multi-shift operation, harsh environments, safety-critical duties, or assets showing accelerated wear.

Every 6 months

Standard production

A common starting point for regularly used production systems where planned inspection reduces avoidable downtime.

Every 12 months

Light-duty review

May suit lower-use or non-critical equipment when permitted by the manufacturer and the site risk assessment.

How the signed plan works

  1. 01Build an asset register and complete a baseline condition review.
  2. 02Agree the cadence, scope, site requirements, exclusions, and enquiry-based pricing.
  3. 03Place provisional service windows on the schedule for the plan term.
  4. 04Confirm access and shutdown timing before each planned visit.
  5. 05Issue a service record, actions, and the next due date after each visit.

Reviewing the interval

The interval can be shortened when inspections identify wear, contamination, repeated faults, changed production demand, or increased safety risk. It may only be extended after review and where manufacturer instructions and the risk assessment permit it.

Missed or deferred visits are recorded and rescheduled. Any effect on support or warranty applies only where stated in the signed plan, equipment warranty, or manufacturer requirements.

These intervals are planning examples, not substitutes for OEM maintenance instructions, statutory inspections, or site-specific safety obligations.

Rescheduling and cancellation

  • • Give at least two business days’ notice for planned rescheduling where possible.
  • • A visit may be rescheduled if the equipment cannot be safely accessed or isolated.
  • • Committed travel, parts, or third-party costs may still apply, subject to the accepted terms.
  • • Weather, transport disruption, site shutdowns, and parts availability may affect timing.

Urgent faults and exclusions

  • • Urgent requests are triaged by safety impact, production impact, location, and technician availability.
  • • No emergency response time is guaranteed unless stated in a signed support agreement.
  • • Misuse, collision damage, unauthorised modifications, utilities, and third-party equipment may fall outside standard coverage.
  • • Remote guidance does not authorise bypassing guards, interlocks, lockout, or site safety procedures.
