Abstract
Tools for the maintenance of complex plants or systems are provided. A master equipment list of components included in a complex plant are organized according to systems. Those components that are critical to the function of the associated system are identified. A template modeling aspects of each critical component is prepared. Information included in applied templates can be reused in association with common or similar components. Particular information included in applied templates may include information related to critical parts within the component, and information regarding maintenance requirements and procedures associated with the component or parts included in the component.
