Breakdown Maintenance Orders
Breakdown maintenance is performed when a breakdown occurs between scheduled preventive maintenance occurrences or if a breakdown occurs because a maintenance strategy has not yet been put in place. Occurring malfunctions are recorded by creating a maintenance order from the machine (work center), not using a Maintenance Template.
When the breakdown maintenance order is created, a released production order is created automatically to prompt immediate repair and block capacity in production.
Setup
This type of maintenance order is specified in the Maintenance-/Setup Job Type page.
- Choose the
icon, enter Maint.-/Setup Job Types, and then choose the related link. - Fill out the fields on the General FastTab as described in Maintenance-/Setup Job Type.
- Ensure that the Breakdown toggle is turned on.
Creating a breakdown maintenance order
You can create breakdown orders for any type of machine, sequence planning or not.
- Choose the icon, enter Machines, and then choose the related link.
- Select the machine that needs a breakdown order.
- On the Home menu, choose the Create Maintenance Order action.
- The fields are populated from the Manufacturing FastTab. If not, enter the information, ensuring that a work center is entered and the breakdown maintenance job is set in the Maintenance Job Type No. field.
- Choose the OK button.
- A message opens stating that the maintenance order was created and asks if would you like to open it. Choose the Yes button to open the order or the No button to stay on the machine list/card.
The breakdown maintenance order has the information from the machine and/or Create Maintenance Order creation request page.
In addition, the corresponding released production order is created with the Starting Time set to the current time.
Note
Any type of maintenance order can be created from the Machine Card/Machines list using this function; it is not limited to breakdown orders.
