HxGN EAM provides a variety of tools for tracking maintenance activities. These tools can be used to track both preventive and corrective maintenance activities, as well as the associated costs and resources.
To track maintenance activities in HxGN EAM, you can use the following steps:
-
Create work orders. Work orders are used to track and manage individual maintenance tasks. To create a work order, you will need to specify the following information:
- Asset to be maintained
- Type of maintenance to be performed
- Priority of the work order
- Scheduled start and end dates
- Assigned personnel
- Required parts and materials
-
Schedule work orders. Once you have created a work order, you can schedule it for execution. HxGN EAM provides a variety of scheduling options, including:
- Calendar scheduling: This allows you to schedule work orders based on specific dates and times.
- Meter scheduling: This allows you to schedule work orders based on the meter readings of an asset.
- Condition monitoring scheduling: This allows you to schedule work orders based on the condition of an asset, as determined by sensors or other monitoring devices.
-
Track work order progress. As work orders are executed, you can track their progress in HxGN EAM. This includes tracking the following information:
- Labor hours expended
- Parts and materials used
- Equipment used
- Status of the work order
-
Close work orders. Once a work order is completed, you can close it in HxGN EAM. This will update the asset record to reflect the completed maintenance activity.
In addition to tracking individual work orders, HxGN EAM also provides a variety of tools for reporting on maintenance activities. These reports can be used to track metrics such as:
- Total maintenance costs
- Mean time to failure (MTTF)
- Mean time to repair (MTTR)
- Maintenance backlog
This information can be used to identify areas where maintenance can be improved and to optimize maintenance resources.
Here are some additional tips for tracking maintenance activities in HxGN EAM:
- Use custom fields to track additional information about maintenance activities. For example, you could create custom fields to track the cause of failure, the corrective action taken, or the estimated cost of the repair.
- Use work order templates to save time when creating new work orders. Templates can be used to pre-populate work orders with common information, such as the type of maintenance to be performed, the required parts and materials, and the assigned personnel.
- Use work order groups to organize related work orders. For example, you could create a work order group for all preventive maintenance activities on a specific asset.
- Use work order approvals to ensure that critical work orders are reviewed and approved by the appropriate personnel before they are executed.
By following these tips, you can use HxGN EAM to effectively track and manage all of your maintenance activities.
