Recommendation

A VisualAIM platform business object representing a proposed engineering or maintenance action intended to resolve an identified condition or improve asset performance.

Definition

Within the VisualAIM platform, a Recommendation represents a proposed engineering, maintenance or operational action arising from an inspection, assessment or engineering review. Recommendations are managed independently from inspection findings, allowing their implementation, prioritization, work execution and closure to be tracked throughout the remediation lifecycle.

Why It Matters

Recommendations manage proposed corrective actions independently from the inspection findings that generated them.

In Practice

A Recommendation may be linked to one or more Work Orders, engineering assessments or implementation activities and may remain active after the originating inspection has been completed.

Common Misuse

A Recommendation defines a proposed corrective action, whereas a Non-Conformance Record documents the engineering issue requiring that action.
