Find maintenance knowledge

Find manuals, procedures and past service records for an asset. Technicians query the documentation and verify sources before preparing their diagnosis.

The context

The workshop operates several generations of equipment. Manuals are filed by machine, intervention reports live in shared folders and some adjustment knowledge remains with a few experienced technicians. The maintenance manager wants this material to become searchable while clearly distinguishing current procedures from historical observations about earlier configurations.

The problem to solve

Preparing an intervention means opening several folders and asking colleagues whether they have seen the fault before. An old note may describe a different configuration. Without a clear reference, a plausible answer is insufficient grounds for deciding which check or adjustment to perform.

The proposed mission

  1. 01

    Build an authorized corpus for one equipment family, identifying applicable document versions, consultation rights and the people responsible for maintaining the procedures used by the team.

  2. 02

    Configure source-linked answers to find a procedure, compare past interventions or prepare a checklist that the technician assesses before using it on the relevant equipment.

  3. 03

    Review answers against real maintenance questions, then retain approved knowledge sheets with an owner, version and access scope so they become part of the documented knowledge base.

Intended benefits

  • Intervention preparation that depends less on the immediate availability of internal experts.
  • Team discussions grounded in the same identifiable technical documents and applicable references.
  • Approved experience reports that are easier to find when similar faults occur.

How to measure the outcome

  • Document search time
  • Answers citing applicable sources
  • Approved sheets reused

The baseline and objectives are defined during scoping, then compared with pilot results.
