FactoryWorxTM Maintenance Management module provides comprehensive functionality to ensure smooth, efficient and effective running of production with insights that benefit enterprise-wide decisions and projects.

FactoryWorxTM Inventory Management is a key area of  Maintenance Management. Inventory has a direct impact on availability of assets and uninterrupted running of production. It can also become a major cost centre for manufacturing if unchecked.

 

FactoryWorxTM Inventory Management in context of Maintenance focuses on management of spare parts, tools and equipment required for the maintenance of  enterprise-wide assets involved in product creation and distribution. FactoryWorx automation and digitisation of the Inventory and Purchasing function enables highly accurate, real-time tracking and control of inventory stocks.

 

Some parts are high cost – cannot keep too many spares. With Predictive Maintenance inventory can be managed for optimised visibility, availability and cost.

 

Functionality:

  • Automated parts restock (Min/Max stock levels)
  • Supplier Database and Pricing
  • Purchase Orders and Reservations
  • Inventory management and optimisation.

    • Labour cost
    • Individual productivity
    • Skill level
  • Integration with Business Software – HR – to plan training
  • Labour scheduling
  • Digital Work Instructions

FactoryWorxTM Asset Management organises your assets into a logical family tree structure for easy access to all asset data. It provides insights on Maintenance Activities, History, Logs, Spare Parts, Documents, Movements, etc. It also includes information on spare part suppliers, delivery lead times, pricing and more.

 

FactoryWorxTM Asset Management tracks and digitally documents your assets’ complete history, showing usage, breakdowns, and maintenance and repair details. Analytics and reporting functionality then provides management insights to make accurate decisions about future scheduling and utilisation of the assets to ensure maximum optimisation and ROI.

 

Importantly, FactoryWorxTM Asset Management is not just for the factory floor production assets. It should be integrated in all critical facilities where products are developed, tested and handled. This includes:

Creating Work Orders and Maintenance Requests has never been easier, faster or more effective. FactoryWorxTM Work Order Management makes it easy to create, complete and record work. Automatic tracking and Notifications ensure timely actions and enable you to achieve and exceed your KPIs.

 

Create Work Requests for Efficiency and Compliance:

Easily design work requests and orders by entering or selecting from the standard lists: tasks to be performed, parts, trade/person, permits, safety notes. The function will automatically record repair time and downtime. With the ERP integration you can generate WO and requests directly from Master Data and ensure accuracy with automatic updates.

These instructions or Guides, designed using Process Mapper, become a Trouble Shooter for each event. They are available in your Digital Library for operators to easily access, follow and check all process steps.

 

This addresses the common problem for organisations: Knowledge capture and availability to the entire Team. It enables any operator to perform a required maintenance activity irrespective of their skill level or whether they are new or casual staff. The digital Document Management function provides an instant knowledge boost – where there is limited experience of business process knowledge. Ensuring speed and continuity of operations.

 

FactoryWorxTM Document Management functionality is essential in the age of workforce outsourcing and solves the 2nd biggest issue of downtime: lack of skilled staff to do even basic maintenance.

SUPPORTING YOUR MANUFACTURING STRATEGY

FactoryWorxTM Goals-Based Maintenance

Maintenance Approach

What Is A Goals-Based Approach to Maintenance?

The main purpose of the goal-based approach to maintenance is to set quantifiable goals to reduce the impact of a maintenance problem. The approach provides a structure for automation to achieve the desired metric. Then you can program your Maintenance to achieve this Goal using FactoryWorxTM Maintenance Management software.

FactoryWorxTM Goals-Based Maintenance Solution

FactoryWorxTM Maintenance Management module, through its systems and IIoT integration capabilities, plays a key role in manufacturing strategy. From collecting data to saving costs of inventory, labour and transportation, to predictive analytics that drive strategic decisions on the C-suite level.

 

Importantly, FactoryWorxTM Maintenance Management software provides visual linking and mapping of the process to all relevant parts of the operation. It provides total enterprise-wide visibility of, e.g. waste. This may be of major interest not just to production management but also to Quality Assurance and Continuous Improvement functions. Often, these functions operate in silos, further reinforced by having these goals maintained in different IT systems to production.

 

FactoryWorxTM Maintenance Management digitally links these diverse, cross-functional Goals so they can reinforce each other. Real time visibility enables people in different parts of the organisation to see how other Goals impact their own work and vice versa.

THE FUTURE OF MAINTENANCE IS HERE

Embrace the future with FactoryWorxTM Autonomous Maintenance

autonomous-maintenance

What is Autonomous Maintenance?

Autonomous Maintenance or Total Productive Maintenance  (TPM) is referred to maintenance carried out independently by the operators rather than by dedicated maintenance technicians. It enables efficient preventative and improvement works.

 

Unlike traditional maintenance programs where the operators run the machines until they break down or become due for routine maintenance by the maintenance department, autonomous maintenance has the operators performing the simpler (and safe) maintenance routines such as lubrication, bolt tightening, cleaning and also inspection and monitoring.

Easily Transition to FactoryWorxTM Autonomous Maintenance

The standard, in-built features and functionality of FactoryWorxTM Maintenance Management software provides a direct path to Autonomous Maintenance.

 

From the initial deployment it provides Standardisation of processes for better Maintenance practices – grounded in Digital Work instructions and digital Document Management. As your organisation moves towards Industry 4.0 and AI, with increased use of Predictive Analytics and digitisation, you will make rapid progress through Preventative Maintenance to Autonomous Maintenance.

 

At FactoryWorx we recognise that advanced technology requires more than software, machines and process. To succeed it needs people to lead, follow and be empowered. To help you achieve and fully leverage the benefits of Autonomous Maintenance, through our Partner ecosystem we can provide support in:

 

  • Change Management
