A Repair Recommendation is an engineering recommendation that defines the repair actions necessary to restore an asset, component or equipment item to an acceptable condition for continued service. Repair recommendations are typically based on inspection findings, engineering assessments, Fitness-for-Service evaluations or failure investigations and provide the technical basis for maintenance planning and execution.
Repair Recommendations provide the engineering basis for restoring assets to an acceptable condition for continued operation.
Repair Recommendations commonly specify the recommended repair method, technical justification, priority, applicable standards and any operational limitations pending completion of the repair.
