In the high-stakes environment of nuclear power generation, efficiency and safety are paramount. The Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) provides structured guidelines to ensure these standards are met, with , serving as the industry standard for optimizing maintenance and operational workflows.

What (SAP, Maximo, Asset Suite) your station uses?

Typically every 2–3 years. Major revisions occur after significant nuclear industry events (e.g., after the Fukushima response lessons learned).

Aligns training programs with industry best practices that are often audited. Summary Checklist Locate

: Standardized training for work planners, often aligned with AP-928, is available through the EPRI Learning Management System and the NANTeL portal. Core Phases of the AP-928 Process

: Detailed technical work planning instructions that complement the high-level AP-928 process. Maintenance Work Planning Guidance, Rev. 3 - EPRI

To align work management with equipment reliability processes (like AP-913) to ensure safe and reliable plant operation. Core Workflow: The process follows a structured lifecycle: Identification: Scoping and defining the work needed. Developing detailed work packages and resource estimates. Scheduling:

Conduct rigorous training sessions for planners, schedulers, and field supervisors to align their daily software inputs with AP-928 expectations. Benefits of Full AP-928 Implementation

The document is structured logically, starting with the philosophy of work management, followed by specific planning milestones, and concluding with implementation metrics.

AP-928 is part of the and is specifically designed to manage maintenance—including emergency, minor, and planned activities—as well as modifications, surveillances, and engineering support. Its primary goal is to minimize nuclear safety risk while maximizing the efficiency of human and material resources. Accessing and Viewing the Document

Demonstrating a mature, disciplined alignment with AP-928 contributes significantly to achieving high INPO plant ratings.

Planners are encouraged to build contingencies directly into work packages to handle unexpected discoveries during maintenance.

"Installing" or implementing AP-928 at a facility involves aligning local station procedures with the industry standard. Modern implementations often focus on the , which requires three key attributes: Cycle Plan : A systematic layout of the entire work cycle.
