A literature search highlighting power plant maintenance objectives and problem areas was conducted. A method for performing a Human Factors Engineering Assessment of a plant maintenance department is suggested, in conjunction with various maintenance management techniques including time control, maintenance standards, maintenance prioritization, reliability management, information management automation, and the establishment of a Maintenance Planner position.
