We are keen to be able to measure the worth of plant inspections; for instance checking an electric motor and coupling - most inspections report no issues, but once in a while the coupling needs replaced and theres an hour extra work. We ask for a follow up work order to be raised for the remedial work that has a different work type. This way we can report on inspection to remedial work ratios for the PM programme. Trouble is, we cannot be sure the maintenance people always raise a follow up work order. How do other organisations derive this data?
What you didn't mention Tony is the creation of the business rule. This definition would also be part of staff training. Then, at that point, you implement compliance checking.
If you are looking for an exact answer in terms of follow-on effort/scope/time there could be multiple acceptable answers.
But once the business rule is written then that is your rule.

Tony, we were having similar problems by allowing too much to be accomplished on our PM workorders and not capturing the repair data. Since our mechanics do their PM inspections with a handheld scanner, we ask them to 'FAIL' an asset if additional work needs to be accomplished. When that report is read by the lead or other designated person, 'FAILS' are turned into follow-up CM (corrective maintenance) workorders, from which we can gather repair data, labor, parts etc etc. Does it happen 100% of the time, NEVER, but we feel comfortable with what we do get (miles ahead of what we were getting in years past). In all honesty some repairs get made on the spot and the follow-up workorder is kind of 'after-the-fact' but it still gives us the abilty to know whats going on with the equipment.
Should all of this be part of your business rules, probably, but if i had to choose between knowing my mechanics & their work versus being the 'Business Rules Police' I'll stick with the workers.
