1. Equipment Maintenance Calendars & Scheduling Preventive Maintenance
When you have several hundred equipment it can be hard to get an idea of preventive maintenance that is due for all the different equipment. We do not want to schedule be too much work in some weeks and too little work during other weeks. This is where reports from your CMMS software (maintenance management software) can be quite helpful. Look for a report like Equipment Maintenance Calendar or Maintenance Calendar.
2. How To Schedule Preventive Maintenance Work Orders
Nearly every equipment or machine needs some kind of regular maintenance. This scheduled maintenance (also called preventive or planned maintenance aka PM) is an often overlooked aspect of maintenance management. This reduces the chance of unexpected failure or repetitive equipment breakdowns.
