Maintenance Task Analysis (MTA) is an analysis used to identify, analyze and document the specific maintenance tasks required to maintain the operational state of a system or equipment. Maintenance Task Analysis aims to accurately identify, plan and implement maintenance tasks to support the reliable and efficient operation of the system or product.
For the Maintenance Task Analysis, all maintenance tasks are defined in great detail, including their prerequisites and post-task control steps. All data related to the maintenance task, such as maintenance time, required qualifications, frequency of tasks, are prepared and documented in the LSAR.
Maintenance Task Analysis ensures that maintenance activities are well defined, planned and implemented, increasing system reliability, reducing maintenance/repair time and optimizing the effective use of maintenance resources. It also provides better resource allocation, skill development and overall maintenance program management.
