Prioritisation Tools
Decision Table You can adapt the table below to suit the requirements of your organisation.

Priority Decision Table


Factor Equipment Criticality Consequences Type of Job Requester Priority Weighting A Serious RM & S/H/E 2 3 Grading B Moderate Repair 3 2 C Minor Request 4 1

Note Requester Priority 1 does not feature in the grading. Jobs that require immediate response (emergencies) are, by default, priority "0" and therefore classified as "Unplanned". The above factors and grading only apply to "Planned" jobs routed to the planning function.

Grading Table

This table is a useful tool to determine the priority of a maintenance job using the above factors, grading and weights. Planning Priority Weight Priority >9 1 8-9 2 5-7 3 <=4 4
