Flag a breakdown or problem

• Allow line operatives to record problems immediately at the work centre

Visibility

• Visually flag machines and other plant equipment in need of repair
• Everyone can see the status

Managing repair work

• Automatically create works orders
• View all repair requests, assign priorities
• Assign to engineers or teams and release
• For less urgent matters, move some requests to be carried out the next time work is being done on that asset
• Provide work instructions

Record the results

• Record the results of each step as you go
• Provide access to drawings and documents to improve effectiveness
• Record man-hours works
• Record spare parts used
• Build up a detailed history of results against each asset

More Uptime

• Track time to respond and time to repair

• Improve response time – speed up the communication between production and maintenance
• Manage workloads and priorities – improve the day to day management of workloads, authorise for release, prioritise, assign to individuals or teams
• Improve visibility – so everyone can see what is happening e.g. status of repair request
• Accountability – track response times and repair times
• Improve effectiveness – ensure non-critical jobs are never missed - they are prompted when other related work is planned.
• Build up a history – know what has been done (and not done), to help make decisions about what to do next e.g. spare parts
• Go paperless – facilitate mobility of maintenance teams around the plant with a mobile maintenance application. Get access to drawings quickly on-line

• Maintenance - to align with all planned maintenance activities
• Downtime - when downtime events are classed as breakdowns, it automatically triggers repair requests
• Links to Documents - to link in all documentation related to each asset for easy access. Alternatively take photographs at various stages of maintenance activities to aid future work
• Inventory -  to manage all the spare part inventory
