The TROPOS Plant Maintenance module supports the definition of all planned maintenance tasks to be carried out against the plant. Tasks can be defined as supervisory which do not impact availability or can be defined to affect the availability of the machine or the group in which it resides.

The frequency of maintenance tasks can be defined on a calendar, cyclic or shutdown basis to reflect the way in which maintenance should be carried out. Maintenance processes can be defined which detail the skills, resources, materials and times required for maintenance activities.

The maintenance scheduling process automatically raises works orders for maintenance tasks which are visible to the production and planning departments.

In addition to planned maintenance orders, additional orders can be raised for corrective and emergency work. The costs of maintenance spares and labour can be booked to each order and the maintenance costs are tracked against budgets defined by cost centre and maintenance category.

Reason codes can be defined against the maintenance orders and these can be used to analyse the reasons for maintenance work. Maintenance costs and down time can be analysed by cost centre, resource, location, reason cost and user-defined date range.

A full maintenance log is kept for each resource.
