Short Answer
A preventive maintenance audit measures coverage, work-order quality, the link between inspections and failures, and operating outcomes, not only completed task counts.
Review criticality and scope
Confirm critical assets are covered by safety, production and quality impact, with intervals tied to manuals and conditions.
Test closure quality
Sample work orders and inspect readings, images, parts, notes and escalation, not only a completed flag.
Connect PM to failures
Compare repeat failures with inspection findings and update checks and intervals after root-cause analysis.
Measure impact
Track on-time PM, MTBF, MTTR, downtime, failure cost and emergency-work share.
