What type of maintenance task must be marked as complete in SKED?

The reason why marking all completed maintenance actions as complete in SKED is important lies in the significance of accurate record-keeping for maintenance activities. Each task that has been successfully finished contributes to tracking the overall performance and efficiency of maintenance operations.

When completed tasks are accurately documented, it ensures that the historical records reflect the true status of equipment and maintenance schedules, allowing for better planning and resource allocation in future maintenance activities. Additionally, marking all completed actions helps identify recurring issues that may need further attention and facilitates compliance with both internal and regulatory requirements. This comprehensive tracking ensures that the maintenance data is reliable, supports operational readiness, and contributes to effective decision-making.

In contrast, unassigned tasks, pending maintenance tasks, and those requiring approval do not fall under the same requirement for completion marking in SKED. Unassigned tasks may not yet have an owner or timeline, pending tasks might still be in progress or awaiting resources, and tasks requiring approval are not finalized until they receive the necessary sign-off. Thus, these cases do not contribute to the finalized dataset of completed actions in the same way that all completed maintenance actions do.
