Maintenance supply checklist Sample Clauses

Maintenance supply checklist. The maintenance supply checklist was developed in the field, after conducting in-depth interviews with maintenance staff at Mampong and Kete-Kratchi. The research team realized that maintenance staff had difficulty understanding names of parts in English. The new tool was created to accurately assess the ability of the maintenance personnel to correctly identify the parts of the water filtration system, their function, and the difficulty and/or ease of buying replacement parts. The process of developing the supply checklist involved taking photographs of selected parts and using a local technician to identify the English and local name for each part. Finally, a list of these items was created and questions regarding the local availability of each part, the location where the part was purchased previously, and distance traveled to acquire parts for minor and major system repairs were added to the checklist.

Maintenance supply checklist. The maintenance supply checklist was administered in four of the six hospitals (Kintampo, Bole, Apam and Axim). The availability of parts, where the part was found previously, and distance traveled to acquire parts for minor and major system repairs were recorded. Initially, at the Kintampo Government Hospital, maintenance staff on duty were shown photographs of the individual parts and then asked to identify the part in the system and indicate its accessibility and distance travelled to acquire the part. Subsequent supply checklists did not include photographs. Maintenance supply checklists were carried out on the same day of the info-graphic survey or on the final day of data collection for the site.
