Maintenance and capacity management activities are performed for all assets within the function
Context and Guidance: Maintenance and capacity management support operational goals by helping to ensure the availability of assets important to the delivery of the function. Organisations should plan for adequate maintenance to be performed with as little impact on operations as possible. This may include performance of preventative maintenance to avoid unanticipated equipment failure, as well as the scheduling of maintenance for planned outage windows or other off-peak operational hours. Capacity management planning requires an understanding of future operational needs of the organisation and adequate budget, equipment, and tools to meet those needs. This may require advanced planning and engagement with budgeting processes and organisational leadership to develop and communicate appropriate justification for necessary resources.
