Preventive Maintenance
In order to prevent deterioration and breakdown of the facility, organizations need to monitor the maintenance of buildings and assets and prevent problems before they happen. Preventing a piece of production equipment from malfunctioning by periodically changing its air filters is well worth the time and effort of planning and executing this task.
The Preventive Maintenance application provides tools and reports that help you establish and manage a comprehensive preventive maintenance program for your time-based and meter-based, regularly occurring maintenance work. Use the application to define tasks such as inspection, calibration, adjustment, cleaning, lubrication, and parts replacement and schedule these jobs at intervals necessary to prevent breakdown and maintain proper operation Once you define the maintenance schedule, you can instruct the system to automatically generate work orders for executing these defined tasks.
By automating preventive maintenance, organizations minimize the risk that critical maintenance is missed or that errors occur. In addition, automation ensures efficient and timely work order execution, effective balancing of schedules and resources, and information tracking for planning and reporting purposes.
