Business Use Cases–Work Orders
PM Equipment or Tool DUOM Readings
With PM Maintenance, you can:
• Use route kind instruction lists for PM work orders and planned CM work orders that allow you to directly enter equipment readings to verify that the equipment is running within the defined engineering tolerances.
• Create route kind instruction lists where each instruction step denotes a different equipment ID with its DUOM and current reading for reference.
• Add route instruction lists to PM templates so that the route instructions are available on the WO issued for PM.
• Enter equipment or tool calibration readings directly on PM work order’s route instruction list step for equipment.
• Evaluate out-of-tolerance conditions when the reading is entered for the step on the WO.
If an out-of-tolerance condition occurs, the system is configured to automatically send an e-mail notification to a person or group and, if needed, to automatically create a CM work order to address the out-of-tolerance condition.
Calibration Maintenance ensures that production equipment and tools are running or used within designed specifications, which reduces the amount of production scrap, rework, and downtime.
Planned Corrective Maintenance WO
The Preventive Maintenance module generates PM work orders using PM templates. A PM template can be based on the following issue methods:
• Calendar frequency
• Driving Unit of Measure (DUOM)
• Special events
• A combination of both calendar and DUOM
PM work orders are pre-planned work orders with much of the relevant information filled in.
Unplanned CM WO and Service Requests
A CM work order is a work order that is entered directly into the system by a user. A CM work order can be for emergency repairs, breakdowns, rebuild, or installs. CM work orders can be added as needed, copied from an existing CM work order, or created from a service request.
Maintenance Projects
Work orders can be created from within a project.
