Preventive Maintenance

 

 

Stay on Top of Equipment Maintenance Schedules

PlantLog is preventive maintenance software at its best. In addition to routine equipment monitoring, facility managers can specify precisely when scheduled maintenance should be performed and how. Maintenance schedules can be based on the number of days from a given date or the number of days since preventative maintenance was last performed on the equipment. Finally, individual tasks can be assigned to any given maintenance schedule to ensure the proper procedures are being performed in accordance with the equipment manufacturers’ guidelines.

 

Resource Planning for Upcoming Preventive Maintenance

 
Many of PlantLog’s built-in reporting capabilities are specifically designed to manage an accurate and consistent maintenance schedule. The Schedule Overview report provides a birds eye view of which equipment will be requiring preventative maintenance in the coming days, weeks and months, while listing overdue equipment at the top so that they can be expedited with priority. The Labor Utilization report shows the shortest, longest and average duration historically required for engineers to complete preventive maintenance on given equipment so that proper time can be allotted for the next recurring maintenance schedule.

 

 

Conducting Preventive Maintenance & Tracking Performance

Facility engineers can review the status of maintenance schedules for equipment right from a mobile device where they can be sorted based on due date and location. Once the necessary tools and parts have been assembled, engineers can then scan the barcode tag located on the equipment and begin to perform and document step by step tasks required to carry out a proper maintenance procedure. Since PlantLog can serve as the dedicated preventative maintenance software, managers now have the ability to measure the performance of their maintenance scheduling initiatives by reviewing the percentage of completions versus overdue schedules as well as to perform cost analysis on maintenance based on labor and parts.
