Setting
Up Services
By knowing exactly what is going on with your equipment, you can determine
how each piece of equipment needs to be serviced in order to fulfill your
goals. This is done initially by creating a list of services for each piece
of equipment you have and then monitoring these services. As you add each
service to the list of services for a piece of equipment, you will enter
information about the service and set some settings for it. This would
include a name for the service, how often you want the service done, what
interval method will determine when the service should become due for service
and several other settings. These methods include 'mileage', for equipment
that has an odometer, 'hours' for equipment that has an hour meter, and
'set number of days' for equipment such as stationary floor equipment,
appliances or lawn equipment that do not have an odometer or an hour meter.
Equipment that has services that need consistent attention can have settings
that put it on the due list very often. Other services that always check
out good can be set to be checked less often.
•How The Services
Are Kept Up To Date.
When a service is done on a piece of equipment the hours or miles (if
applies) are noted and the date when the service was done. When this
information is entered all of the services on the list for the piece
of equipment are automatically checked to see if any other services on
its list have become due as a result of the newly entered date and or
mileage, and other data entered. Any services that have exceeded its
service interval are added to the Due List and the services completed
are removed.
(See Next Paragraph)
• What's On The
Due List
The printout shows the name or number of each piece of equipment that
has services due and lists all the services that are due under the equipment
name or number. The due list also has a place for the date and the hours,
or miles on the odometer, if either applies, a checkbox which the service
person checks when he completes the service, and a 'Remarks' column where
he can, optionally, write in what action was taken to complete the service
such as the amount of a product needed to top off a reservoir, if one
exists. The due list can optionally be printed out with the parts and
tools required to do the job. (See Next Paragraph)
•About The Due List Printouts
The option to print out a due list, designed to show what services need
to be done and to get the information about the services that were
done, makes this program ideal for companies who use one or more service
people to take care of the maintenance work. This allows a lead person
to monitor what is being done, how it is being done, coordinate the
service people, and to customize a maintenance program that conforms
to the needs of the company.
The Due List can be printed out whenever needed and is used by the person
who will be doing the service. When services are completed, the handout
is returned and the new data is entered to a list of services done. The
due list is then automatically checked and re-updated
