Maintenance Industrielle : Comprendre les Niveaux de Maintenance en 10 Minutes

The 5 Levels of Maintenance: What Every Technician Should Know Do you really know what it means to intervene at the right level in maintenance? In many companies, qualified technicians waste time on tasks that aren't their responsibility—while critical equipment sits idle. Conversely, operators work on machines without having the required skill level. The result: poorly repaired breakdowns, accidents, and wasted time and money. This problem has a name: maintenance level confusion. And it costs companies that don't take it seriously a fortune. In this video, I explain what the 5 levels of maintenance from the NF EN 13306 standard are, how they are applied in practice, and how mastering them can transform your work—and your career. 📌 What you'll learn in this video: ✅ Level 1 — Simple adjustments that can be performed by an operator without special tools ✅ Level 2 — Standardized troubleshooting with a written procedure ✅ Level 3 — Diagnosing and identifying complex faults, reserved for qualified technicians ✅ Level 4 — Heavy-duty work requiring specialists and a dedicated workshop ✅ Level 5 — Renovation and reconstruction, often entrusted to the manufacturer The reality on the ground: Many companies know these levels in theory but don't apply them correctly. You'll see Level 3 technicians assigned to Level 1 tasks because no one has trained the operators. You'll see operators working on machines without the right tools or skills. And in the end, this leads to recurring breakdowns, poorly executed repairs, and skyrocketing costs. As a planner, mastering these levels is the foundation of everything. This is what allows you to assign the right people to the right jobs, anticipate the necessary resources, and avoid unexpected downtime. And what about your career? When you start out, you work on levels 1 and 2. As you progress, you move up to level 3 and develop real value in the market through diagnostics. And when you reach a manager or planner position, you need to master all 5 levels—not to perform them, but to effectively organize and manage all maintenance. Companies recruiting maintenance managers are looking for exactly that: people who can see maintenance in its entirety. Want to structure your planning like a pro?
