Overview summary
- The Equipment Maintenance and Scheduling program may be used as a standalone software
module allowing you to schedule equipment maintenance details independently from
any other accounting modules.
- The equipment you maintain may be your own equipment, equipment rental, a customer's
equipment brought in for servicing or, equipment serviced on a job, a shopping
mall, industrial site, high rise building, apartment building, etc.
- There is no limit to the number of Equipment ID's the module can contain, nor
is there a limit to the number of scheduling and service details.
- The location of equipment may be specified, such as for example, building, floor,
room, drawing number, etc., simplifying the instructions for service employees
performing the actual maintenance.
- If the maintenance schedule is date based, specifying a service frequency interval,
starting date and ending date, will automatically add the required number of schedules
to the schedule table.
- As a preventive equipment maintenance program you may automatically generate a number
of schedules based on user defined parameters, or add schedules as needed.
- In/Out status may be used for equipment rental or to indicate if the equipment
is out in the field or job site.
- A Customer may be specified for each Equipment, including a Job
number to facilitate
retrieving information by Customer or Job, or in case of rental equipment, the location
and customer whom rented or leased to.
- A database is used to select parts or assemblies to be used
at a scheduled service date or metered interval (hours or mileage).
- Use assemblies to specify any number of components to be used for a specific service.
Using a single assembly ID will print all required components on the maintenance
schedule for the service department, without having to enter and list each component
individually.
- Costing fields for hours worked and dollar amount may be used to track maintenance
expenses. Expenses may be broken down into several categories.
- User defined service types may be used to indicate the type service required,
for example, use one service type to indicate a weekly service, another service
type for a monthly service, complete overhaul, 100,000 mile service, 1,000 hour
service and so on. A single piece of equipment may be assigned multiple service
types in the scheduling menu, one for each scheduled service.
