The Maintenance module provides you with all the tools required to plan, carry out, and document the breakdown and preventive maintenance associated with the instruments in your plant. You can issue new work requests, repairs, or preventive maintenance work orders from the Actions menu in the Maintenance module.
Breakdown Maintenance
Breakdown maintenance features deal with the malfunction of equipment. You can deal with problems on two levels:
-
Work Requests
A work request can be initiated by most of the technical staff. A work request describes a possible malfunction or repair that may be required in the future. The work requests are then examined by the maintenance supervisor or foreman who can approve them and then create an actual work order (repair).
-
Repair Forms
A repair form is the actual repair or work that has been approved by the maintenance supervisor or foreman. It indicates the repair date and describes the nature of the problem as well as the work group that is assigned to carry out the job. The repair form also includes, in a different section, the information that is filled in by the person who performed the work, malfunction cause and action taken, as well as the down and repair time.
Preventive Maintenance
Preventive maintenance features enable you to maintain and schedule periodic maintenance activities that contain tasks and procedures.
The Maintenance module is available only if it is included in the software license
that you purchased from Intergraph.
