Abstract: THIS paper describes the maintenance control system in use throughout the operating division at Northern Natural Gas Company. The system is comprised of an integrated mix of manual and computer based sub-systems designed to work in concert to provide effective control capability. The mix includes maintenance job tickets, weekly work schedules, computer generated preventive maintenance schedules, maintenance history storage, and retrieval sub-systems. The operating division of Northern Natural Gas Company is responsible for gathering, processing and pumping natural gas from the gas sources in West Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico to the primary market areas in Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin, and Michigan. The accomplishment of this task requires the coordinated utilization and maintenance of over 18,265 miles of various sized pipelines, along with 589 engines developing over 900,000 horsepower. These facilities involve over 100 locations spread across 10 states. Besides the above primary facilities, there is a substantial amount of supportive equipment and facilities necessary to a successful operation. This magnitude of equipment and facilities results in an operation that is particularly maintenance sensitive-one that especially lends itself to a computerized maintenance control system.
