Description of the illustration ''%s''prevent_main

Handling preventive maintenance is a cyclical activity in any maintenance organization. Equipment routinely needs scheduled maintenance for its systems to remain operational. Once equipment is set up in the Equipment Master, a maintenance schedule can be set up for each of its systems. Typically, that involves creating a model work order to define the routine work, along with associated parts and instructions and defining the criteria to trigger a work order to be created from the model work order. You then generate the PM work orders with their appropriate statuses. Based on the status and triggers, another program is run periodically to generate the maintenance work orders. The technician then completes the work, updates the schedule as completed, updates the labor time against the PM repair, and captures the time and status of the equipment involved. The cycle then repeats itself. Other events that update the equipment, such as meter readings, can trigger the creation and update of a PM work order to a given status.
