ABSTRACT
Blueprints, drawings, and schematics are used almost everywhere in industrial systems to troubleshoot a problem. The wind turbine malfunction just described points out that blueprints are among the most important forms of communication among people involved in plant maintenance operations. The original drawing is seldom used in the plant or field but copies, commonly called “blueprints,” are made and distributed to maintenance operators who need them. Blueprints provide a universal language by which all information about a part, mechanism, or system is furnished to the operator and others. A smart art shows other names of blueprints as follows: project, scheme, draft, outline, sketch, layout, plan, and pattern. In order to provide a universal language, blueprints must communicate ideas to many different people. Universal standardization practices allow blueprints to be uniformly interpreted throughout the globe.
