Maintenance Module
To manage all your maintenance-related works you can install the Maintenance module from Applications. All the details related to the maintenance activities can be seen in this module. The main feature of this module is Preventive maintenance and Corrective maintenance.
Preventive Maintenance
Some equipment needs regular maintenance to maintain its working condition. There are mainly two kinds of preventive maintenance, time-based preventive maintenance, and usage-based preventive maintenance. The former deals with the maintenance of the equipment during regular intervals. Usage-based preventive maintenance is done after a selected usage, for example, a vehicle must undergo maintenance every 100kms.
Corrective Maintenance
Corrective maintenance is such maintenance that is performed on equipment when it gets with any problem. This can be either planned or unplanned. Compared to Preventive maintenance, Corrective maintenance requires less initial cost.
By opening the Maintenance module you can see the list of maintenance works. By looking at the dashboard you will be able to see how many scheduled maintenance and unscheduled maintenance are there under different maintenance teams. By clicking on the maintenance TO DO you will be redirected to the list of maintenance scheduled under the selected title. Here you can view all the maintenance activities grouped into categories such as New Request, In Progress, Repaired, and Scrap.
You can easily create a new maintenance record by clicking on the CREATE button. Here you can insert all the asked details in the form.
