Knowledge Walks Out the Door
When senior techs retire, the know-how they never wrote down goes with them.
A standard maintenance procedure (SMP) is the step-by-step method for a maintenance job. Film your senior technician once and LeanSuite writes it, with torque values, lockout steps, tools and parts.

The problem
Senior technicians retire, repairs drag on while people hunt for know-how, and lockout steps live in memory.
When senior techs retire, the know-how they never wrote down goes with them.
New technicians lose hours chasing know-how that belongs in the procedure.
Lockout steps live in muscle memory, so nothing shows the right sequence.
How it works
Film one repair, let the AI write the SMP, then attach it to the asset it belongs to.
Record the senior tech doing the repair on a phone or helmet cam.
The AI pulls the tools, parts, torque values and lockout steps out of the footage.
The SMP is linked to the equipment record in LeanSuite.
Features
No AI expertise needed.
Feature 01
The AI lists the tools, fasteners and consumables used in the repair, so techs arrive knowing what to bring.
Auto-extracted tool inventory
Fastener and consumable tracking
No manual BOM lookup

Feature 02
The AI detects when the torque wrench is used and writes the spec value into that step.
Auto-detected torque wrench events
Spec values inserted inline
No separate spec sheet needed

Feature 03
The AI builds the lockout/tagout sequence with a photo of each isolation point.
Isolation points photo-documented
Full LOTO sequence auto-built
Visual proof, not just text steps

Feature 04
Procedures attach to the asset record and come up with the PM work order.
Linked to asset record
PM schedule-triggered
No manual SMP lookup

Feature 05
Each printed step has a QR code that plays its clip in the LeanSuite app, so a tech can watch the exact move.
One QR code per step
Plays the clip for that step
Printed sheet and app stay in step

Feature 06
Track which techs are qualified for each SMP in LeanSuite, instead of checking a separate training matrix.
Per-SMP qualification tracking
No separate training matrix
Built-in assignment check


Why It Matters
Written procedures go stale as equipment changes and experts retire. Film a senior tech doing the repair and get a versioned SMP with torque specs, lockout steps and PPE reminders.
Lower MTTR
Video-backed steps put the senior tech's know-how in front of every technician.
Retain Expertise
Capture a senior tech's expertise before they retire.
Safer Maintenance
Lockout and PPE reminders at every step that needs them.
