Searches Using Equipment Backlog

Use the Equipment Backlog program to review and analyze work order information for a particular piece of equipment or a group of equipment. When you use the Equipment Backlog program, you can use any combination of information that is shared by equipment, such as equipment category codes, responsible business unit, and location. For example, you might want to analyze all of the failures that are associated with the heavy equipment. You can locate all of the work orders that are associated with equipment class 30 (heavy equipment), or you can further narrow the search to only type 5 (emergency) work orders for heavy equipment. The more information that you enter, the more you narrow the search to specific work orders.

After you locate a work order or group of work orders, you can perform a variety of tasks. For example, you can:

• Access a work order master.

• Create a work order for unscheduled maintenance.
