Tracking of parts and equipment issues, transfers and returns are critical to a productive maintenance organization.

Work Request
Work Request is a way for non-maintenance personnel to raise or highlight problems to the plant maintenance department.
It is a simplified Work Order screen for use by personnel who are not day to day users of the system.
For any work to be carried out, a work order is typically generated from the request module by an authorized personnel.
Work Orders
Function
- Management of all maintenance activities
- Generate, view and close maintenance work orders
- Can be raised for assets as well as physical locations (non-asset activities)
- Enables tracking of maintenance activities and tracking of maintenance cost.
Preventive Maintenance
- Preventive maintenance is regular work with a primary focus, which is to prevent something from going wrong.
- A PM is a template in which you use to generate work orders.
- A PM specifies the task that defines the work to be performed and the frequency to which it is performed.
Basic Steps For Starting PM’s
- Generate the PM Tasks for individual assets / equipment.
- Finalize frequencies of each task.
- Schedule the PM activities manually first using a spreadsheet. Confirm that the tasks are spread equally.
- Generate PM Work Orders for the activities.
