The bar on the left of the main window contains buttons providing access to all FastMaint's lists e.g. equipment list, location list, part list, work order list, etc.
Instructions
•Add and edit the contents of each list using the Add, Open, and Delete toolbar buttons, or by double-clicking an entry.
•Use the Find button to quickly locate entries e.g. find all work orders with a number starting with “5”, find an equipment named “PUMP-56A”. The Find button is particularly useful if you have barcode support since you can scan in the barcode and quickly pull up the relevant record.

Description |
|---|---|
Calendars are used for a variety of reasons: •For scheduling tasks based on holidays and working times. •Calculation of equipment meters based on estimated use. •Specifying when people are available for work, so as to support Workload Balancing And Detecting Schedule Conflict. |
|
Categories are a useful way to classify tasks, equipment people and parts, e.g. "electrical", "plumbing", and "Production". |
|
Examples of equipment include air conditioning plants, pumps, vehicles, and printers. |
|
Specifying locations makes it easier to perform and track work orders, as well as to report and classify all the maintenance data you collect. If you are doing facilities maintenance, Locations could be used to specify the buildings/ rooms/ areas which need maintenance work. |
|
Parts are items required to complete a task, e.g. an air conditioning filter, a toner cartridge, or a quart of oil. When you mark a task as complete, FastMaint reduces the quantity of required parts accordingly. |
|
Tell FastMaint about people who work for you or your company, whether as contractors or employees. |
|
Purchase orders can be created to order parts from vendors. You can see outstanding purchase orders on each part. When purchase order items are received they are added to stock. |
|
Each task describes a job or action that can be specified in a work order, for example a weekly maintenance check, fixing an equipment breakdown or doing a 3000 mile vehicle service. |
|
Enter vendors into the system and list and rate them as possible suppliers for equipment and parts. You can then generate purchase orders, and print vendor contact information on Parts to Reorder reports. |
|
Use work orders to assign maintenance tasks for particular dates and times. FastMaint automatically schedules work orders for regular tasks, however you still have to create these manually, or run a Planning Report. |
