Which term is used to designate the maintenance task authorization?

• A. Work order
• B. Status of Vehicle or trailer
• C. MMHE
• D. MFT

Answer: (A)

The maintenance task authorization is designated by a work order. A work order is the formal document that authorizes and directs maintenance work, outlining what needs to be done, who will do it, when it should occur, and what parts or tools are required. It serves as the official authorization to proceed and tracks the task from start to completion, ensuring accountability and proper planning.

The other terms aren’t the authorization to perform maintenance: a vehicle or trailer status is simply the current condition or readiness, not the task approval, and MMHE and MFT refer to other processes or equipment not used to designate the maintenance task authorization.
