Maintenance Planner Accountability / Responsibility Summary:
Planners are generally responsible for providing services and performing supporting activities as
determined or directed from by administrative procedures and station procedures; or as driven by
programs, processes and organizational interfaces. They include and are not limited to the following:

1. Reviewing incoming MDT's or WO's as provided by "Tiger Team" computer input,  or from station
    management such as OPS and shop supervision, and dispositioning these incoming work items through
    coordination with Operations, Engineering, and Maintenance, to reduce backlog; pursuant to
    DB-DP-00007 and WPG 6.

2. Preparing or updating work packages to resolve MDT's, CR's, PM items and other documents to
    ensure completion within the established deadlines and schedules, pursuant to WPG 1 timelines.

3. Providing reviews of backlog and emergent items; preparing them for issuance to the field when
    scheduled, and ensuring that WO's have appropriate input from Engineering, the Maint Shop(s),
    and Operations.

4. Being responsive to Operations Concerns and work orders for emergent items by providing an
    expeditious turn-around in the shortest time frame possible while still maintaining quality.
    See item 5 for more on quality expectations.

5. Ensuring that quality and attention to detail are part of the work order development process,
    by ensuring that components are identified properly, and that corrective/root causes are discernable.
    Planners also ensure that the proper outage codes, mode required for work and tech spec requirements
    are identified; along with a description of any special plant condition(s) that may be required.

6. Identifying correct parts and materials to support work items. Ensuring that the proper parts, together
    with associated quality requirements and sufficient quantity are ordered to facilitate repairs or
    replacements identified on the WO.

7. Supporting the Maintenance Shops during performance of work through use of Work Order changes,
    sub-WO generation as needed, to correct WO problems; and obtaining the involvement of Systems
    and /or Maintenance Engineers to assist in resolving technical and system procedural problems.

8.  Providing input and status updates for coordination requirements to the Planning Supervisor as requested.

9.  Maintaining Communications to promote continuity and coordination during all phases of work tasks.

10. Reviewing WO's for close-out to ensure that identified work as in fact performed, the required
     documentation and forms are properly completed, and required attachments are included in the work
     packages (Such as data sheets, weld travelers, test data, procedures, etc).

NOTE: This activity is subject to be deleted during Transition Team program reduction activities.
RQR 96-0003 deleted NQAM 22.4.4.4, which formerly required planner closeout reviews.

11. Being properly aware of documentation deficiencies found during closeout and preparing a
      Condition Report when appropriate.

12. Properly addressing MOD activities for MOD's assigned, by attending MOD IDR/constructibility
      meetings, identifying /ordering parts, assembling the MOD packages, coordinating work verification
      support such as issuing Training completion notifications, procedure related IDWACN's, and during
      closeouts, performing Work Verification Checklist signoffs, and submitting the MPIC for final MOD
      close-out. See the Interfaces section for other information on interdepartmental coordination.

13. Providing all of the appropriate enclosures and attachments for special requirements such as the
      Foreign Material Exclusion (FME) form, weld traveler form, permits, and others.

14. Assisting the Supervisor-Planning and/or the Lead Planner by training new planners using OJT,
      procedure required reading, and practice on the PC.

15. Assisting in answering questions from shop personnel, engineering personnel, and management
      personnel as related to WO specifics needing clarification.

Many other procedures have statements containing the words "Planner Shall", or "Planner Should",
which direct planner actions to be taken in given situations covered within the scope of the procedures.
There are too many to list here!!!
