Preventative Maintenance
Prolonging the life of any piece of equipment, big or small, is beneficial to any company. It can have a great impact on the reduction of cost to the company or even more importantly the safety of an employee. Central can be configured to create and assign tasks on a periodic basis requesting that maintenance personnel provide necessary preventative maintenance to pieces of equipment. By doing this, Company's can reduce the chance of a piece of equipment failing due to negligence or oversight.
User Experience:
- CAST is set to run periodically to create and assign maintenance cases for all equipment
- Cases are assigned to maintenance technicians to perform required maintenance to equipment
- Directions and proper procedures for maintenance action can be found in Standards
- Quest form is used as a checklist to ensure every aspect of the required maintenance service gets accomplished
- Maintenance done is recorded and reported along with other maintenance history
- Analysts review reports of maintenance and compare to cases assigned to ensure all maintenance is done
- Analysts follow up or reassign maintenance cases accordingly
Functional Setup:
- CAST must be configured to run periodically depending on the type of equipment to be serviced
- Maintenance case type must be created
- Instructions and procedure on how to perform maintenance must be documented in Standards
- Quest form must be configured to encompass all aspects of the maintenance needed
- Reports must be created to show all maintenance that has been performed and that which is still necessary
- Maintenance personnel and analysts must be associated to the case type and CAST in Departments
Best Practices:
- Analyst should have a recurring CAST which ensures that they periodically review the maintenance reports and look for incomplete maintenance
- All Equipment must be registered into Entities along with the necessary periodic maintenance
- Equipment that could affect an employees safety should not only have preventative maintenance inspection but also regular safety inspections
