TIME-SAVING SCHEDULING OF PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE TASKS
Does your time based preventive maintenance scheduling require the scheduling of different tasks done at different time sequences? In other words, do you do different tasks annually than you do monthly, daily, or weekly?
CWorks PlusA has a multiple PM scheduler that allows you to schedule these different tasks without overlapping them and without artificially increasing your work order numbers. With the multiple PM scheduler, if an annual PM is due, the monthly PM is automatically pushed to the next schedule.
Do you have a difficult time to schedule outsourced service contractors because they like to schedule visits based on day of week or day of month rather than a multiple of a number of days? CWorks PlusA expands on CWorks PM scheduling abilities by allowing you to schedule based on these rules.
CWorks PlusA also includes PM work order forecasting functionality. This functionality assists you in scheduling your PM activities in an evenly distributed manner. The PM work order forecast report is exported to Microsoft Excel to allow easy desktop analysis.
OPTIMIZE PURCHASE OF SPARES
For immediate purchase requisition on spares that has gone below reorder levels and for direct issue requisition requirement for work orders, ready Purchasing Modules to ensure timely purchase is done and followed by logging in the Delivery Orders and Invoices once the delivery has been made. These features enable you to:
INTERNAL SECURITY AND PERMISSIONS
CWorks PlusA allows you to separate roles through password protection. Permissions can be set individually for each employee to only access certain modules of the system. Allows for more confidentiality of data and further guards against accidental corruption of data.
EASILY RAISE AND RECORD WORK REQUESTS
CWorks PlusA also includes a Work Request Module. It is a way for non-maintenance personnel to raise or highlight problems to the maintenance department. It is a simplified Work Order screen for use by personnel who are not day to day users of the system. For any work to be carried out, a work order is generated from the request module. This is a convenient way as it assists users to easily raise work requests from remote desktops via LAN
WORK AS A TEAM WITH NETWORKING CAPABILITY
CWorks PlusA can be installed in a networked environment. It was designed for single and multiple users.
MORE REPORTING OPTIONS
CWorks users are already aware that CWorks data can easily be reported using the reporting wizards and templates available in MS Access. With CWorks PlusA, users can now have more pre-defined reports which include filtered reports and chart reports that can be used as examples for users to create more personalized reports.
TRACK AND MANAGE INSPECTION LOGS
If part of your maintenance repertoire is the regular logging of meter readings, CWorks PlusA has a Planned Maintenance - Meters sub module that allows you to record all your inspection logs reading in a simple one-screen data entry screen. This ensures that your logs are permanently recorded for you to create reports on.
Further to this, your logs need not be static reports lying in storage with no action. The Meters sub module can also generate work orders with pre-determined tasks if the meter readings reach a certain maximum or minimum warning level.
Also work orders can be set for generation based on incremental meter readings such as generation of automotive servicing every 10000 kilometers. If however the meter readings are slow moving, time based generation can also be scheduled.
Another example of the usefulness of the Meters sub module is the recording of cleaning inspections where excellent work can be signified for example by the number 5 and poor work by the number 1. If a 1 is recorded, a mitigating work order can easily be generated to rectify the problem using the Meters sub module.
In CWorks PlusA, the Meters sub module is further enhance with multiple metered PM functionality to allow generation of multiple tasks PM against meter readings
