Preventive Maintenance Software
Preventive maintenance is the regular maintenance carried out to reduce or minimise the chances of breakdown. Preventive maintenance is performed while the machine is still running to prevent unexpected breakdowns.
Preventive maintenance can be categorised into:
Time-based preventive maintenance– This is regular inspection of critical equipment that can impact production severely in case of a breakdown.
Usage-based preventive maintenance– This is maintenance carried out after a certain number of production cycles.
Preventive maintenance software is designed to help with each aspect of preventive maintenance including planning and execution. Preventive maintenance software lowers operational costs and improves operational efficiency and increasing profits.
Benefits of Preventive Maintenance Software
Lower operational costs:An effective preventive maintenance software system should decrease machine downtime significantly. By ensuring all tools and parts are available before they are needed, expensive reactive costs and downtime associated with repairs are significantly reduced.
Increased productivity:Improved planning and scheduling will maximise crew and resource efficiency. Preventive maintenance is also completed much faster which significantly improves machine uptime.
Components of Preventive Maintenance Software
Preventive maintenance:Preventive maintenance software allows workers to create a maintenance schedule for each machine. The schedule outlines all the necessary inspections and preventive maintenance tasks.
Work orders:These are the backbone of preventive maintenance. Any preventive maintenance software should have work orders.
Reporting capability:An effective preventive maintenance software system allows users to create reports that spot trends and root out areas that need improvement.
Checklists:A good preventive maintenance software system allows users direct access to checklists. These show which tasks are complete.
Inventory management:Preventive maintenance software systems help your workers spend less time locating spare parts. An effective inventory management system tracks and manages inventory at multiple locations.
Assets:The asset feature of preventive maintenance software reduces expensive, time-consuming tracking processes. The assets module saves information on your investment, associated parts, warranties, procedures, meter readings, and more.
Purchasing:A purchasing module generates purchase orders automatically and shows which parts need to be purchased.
