Managing Maintenance
While manufacturing the products, it is quite common that the issue of maintenance arises. Proper maintenance results in reducing the costs, time as well as resources. Monitoring the equipment from time to time reduces the risk or perishment of the machinery. The state of the equipment makes a direct impact on the products manufactured. Therefore it is important to give a maintenance check on the equipment and to report maintenance requests at the right time. The down time of the equipment can be reduced and this helps in pacing the production.
Odoo 15 allows you to place maintenance requests directly from the Manufacturing module. From the Manufacturing Order profile select the MAINTENANCE REQUEST option.
At the displayed form enter the details such as:
Request: At the given field enter the name of the maintenance request that is created.

Team: Select the team which you need to look at the maintenance of the equipment.
Responsible: The employee responsible for the maintenance work must be selected in this field.

In Odoo 15 Manufacturing module you can carry out the maintenance works in two types. While requesting maintenance the employee can select the type of maintenance he or she needs on the equipment. These two types are Corrective Maintenance and Preventive Maintenance.
Corrective Maintenance: Corrective type of maintenance is used when the equipment requested for maintenance needs to identify, isolate and rectify the fault. This type is used when an equipment fails and can be restored to its original operational condition.
Preventive Maintenance: Preventive maintenance is performed from time to time to ensure that the equipment is in good working condition. This saves from costly and unplanned downtime of the equipment. Unexpected failures can be avoided using the preventive maintenance method.
