WORK ORDER MENU
1. Package Work Order
A package work order is used to group multiple tasks or work orders into one package. This is especially useful for scheduling and managing tasks that are related or need to be completed together. For example, during routine maintenance on equipment, you might need to do cleaning, lubrication, and inspection. Instead of creating separate work orders for each task, you can package them into one for easier tracking and execution.
Key benefits:
- Improved planning and scheduling
- Reduced equipment downtime
- Simplified tracking and reporting
2. Work Order Labours
This section manages the labor or human resources assigned to a work order. It includes assigning workers or technicians, tracking the time they spend on tasks, and recording labor costs. Details typically recorded include:
- Employee names or IDs
- Hours worked
- Task descriptions
- Start and end times
This helps with accurate payroll processing, cost tracking, and workload management.
3. Work Order Materials
This section deals with the materials, tools, or parts used during the execution of a work order. Users can add or manage items required to complete the job. Information typically tracked includes:
- Material names or codes
- Quantities used
- Unit costs
- Storage locations or warehouses
Recording materials used on work orders helps with inventory management, cost control, and ensuring that needed items are available before work begins.
4. Work Orders
This is the main section where all work orders are listed and managed. Users can view, create, edit, or update work orders from here. Work orders usually contain:
Task descriptions:
- Assigned personnel
- Equipment or asset details
- Estimated and actual completion times
- Costs (labor and materials)
- Status (e.g., Open, In Progress, Completed)
This module is central to managing maintenance, repair, and operational tasks efficiently.
