This procedure does not apply to the management of assets hired in by the maintenance function.

This procedure does not apply to the planning of servicing/maintenance/repair of road aspects of the assets (process not defined here).

NOTE: The Mobile Plant Engineer should consult with the Route Vehicles Co-ordinator and together they should agree, where possible, that servicing, repair and/or maintenance activities be planned to be undertaken so as to minimise the time the asset is unavailable for use.
