Manage Planned Preventive Maintenance More Effectively
For a facility manager or dedicated maintenance manager nothing is more important than being able to quickly organise, balance and schedule planned preventive maintenance in one centralised location. The Planon solution gives managers the tools they need to forecast and manage planned maintenance, create schedules and budget and balance work load more efficiently. In addition, using Planon’s comprehensive reporting and forecast tools, managers can create more efficient schedules that reduce costs and improve efficiencies. By switching from reactive to preventative maintenance you can cut your operations and maintenance costs by 10% to 15%.
Many organisations lose sight of mutual, contractual and service level (SLA) commitments. With Planon, organisations gain visibility and tracking for all internal and external contracts, monitoring information such as notice periods, commercial terms and conditions, and service levels. In addition, automatic warnings are created for contract extension, termination, or contract reviews within any given period.
The Planon solution also enables dynamic on-screen planning of the preventive maintenance activities as defined in your maintenance service plans. Service plan catalogues can be imported from market standards or setup as company specific libraries.
Clear on-screen calendar plans (day, week, month, quarter, year) are displayed according to a wide variety of user selected view options for example, by asset, by location, by service provider or by trade/skill. For each period shown in the plan, the sum of labour hours and labour and material costs are displayed and individual activities can be moved (‘drag and drop’), suspended or cancelled and entire activity sequences can be shifted, according to your load balancing requirements. If required, additional ad-hoc activities can be added as well.
Once a forward plan has been finalised, work orders for the required number of weeks forward can be generated automatically within the solution and then issued to your FM team and service providers accordingly. The status of previously issued work orders, for example, whether in progress or completed, is maintained in the graphical planning view so that you always have a complete picture of both forward and previously issued planned maintenance work order activity.
