The following is intended to instruct maintenance planning supervisors, trade and area maintenance supervisors who supervise work and other personnel who may benefit from use of the job plan survey. The purpose is to gain useful feedback information concerning a job that could be helpful with a particular job or future jobs.

1. Maintenance Planning Supervisors

   Maintenance planning supervisors may initiate a job plan survey for selected jobs for the purpose of monitoring quality of job plans. It may be initiated prior to the work and accompany the job order. They may also implement it upon completion of jobs when it is obvious that there have been large deviations from the job plan, resulting in a savings or cost overrun.

2. Work Supervisors

   Supervisors responsible for the execution of work should initiate the job plan survey as a means of formal advertisement that a job plan needs or needed improvement and/or changes. It should also be used to identify and highlight reasons for delays, cost overruns, and savings.

3. General

   1. When possible, a note should be included on the job order that a job plan survey has been issued and is to be completed.

   2. The "Job Planning Survey" form should be completed by the supervisor overseeing the work. The supervisor should seek input and assistance from appropriate hourly technicians.

   3. Completed job plan surveys should, whenever possible, be reviewed with the appropriate hourly technician, the supervisor overseeing the labor, the planner and the senior maintenance planner/supervisor.
