CMMS - PredictMate

Transfer to PDA handheld for Equipment, Work Orders, Preventive Maintenance, Parts (Inventory), and Predictive Readings. Optionally HotSync with the handheld device can run on a remote PC (or from a network folder). In this case Davison software is NOT installed on the remote PC. Palm Desktop software is installed at the remote PC, but is not required on the host PC with Davison software.

Davison Software supports images for handheld where images are displayed in the PC application. Images displayed in the PC are converted for the Handheld device with their relation to database records on the handheld. On the handheld device in a HanDBase database, press "View Image". This will be the same image as displayed in the PC application.

Equipment Units and Components

An equipment unit is a machine, building, vehicle, or any other entity managed like equipment.

Each equipment unit and can be divided into components. Components usually can be interchanged with other units. Do not confuse components with parts inventory. For example, an electric motor, a coupling, and a driven machine could be components of one equipment. An equipment unit could have several component records, each with the same unit code, but a different component code representing each component.

If you choose not to divide equipment into components, the equipment unit is represented in one component record by a unit code and blank component code.

Work Orders

You can enter Corrective work orders for each component. A status of Working, Ready, Project, Hold, Declined, or Completed is assigned plus a priority and a scheduled date. If needed there is room for several pages of work order description.

Parts inventory is integrated to work orders. When a work order is completed, parts are subtracted from inventory. You can list work orders that do not have enough parts.

Individual personnel hours are summed to the Actual Hours field. Man-hour costs are calculated from each personnel pay rate. The program will number work orders automatically with a combination of letters and numbers.

Preventive Maintenance (PM)

Enter preventive maintenance (PM) tasks of different intervals and crafts by PM Group Code. You assign the PM group code to every component with identical PM requirements.

Creating PM tasks for equipment is easy with a Standard PM task utility that makes PM groups from component tasks. After you build component tasks, you only need to define the equipment and the program builds a group of PM tasks.

Enter a single date to set the PM schedule for each component. Otherwise PM can schedule by runtime hours, mileage, or from the date last closed. PM can schedule only during a season of the year if desired.

A part group can be assigned to the PM task. The parts are listed with the PM task and subtracted from inventory when the PM task is completed.

Parts (Stock Inventory)

Parts inventory includes parts numbered by stock code and stock locations. Quantity and reorder points are maintained as parts are used from work orders.

Parts are grouped and assigned to equipment, work orders, and preventive maintenance tasks by the part group code. Each part can be assigned to more than one group.

A Vendor price is assigned to each part in a part group. Total costs for a part group are totaled to material cost in each work order when the work order is completed.

Parts can be received and used by group in the part group window. Vendor part numbers are cross-referenced to your stock code.

Davison Software can help with custom reports. You can copy and modify existing reports with the built-in report tool.

The Work Summary report accumulates personnel time. The cost summary report provides comparison between material costs and purchase cost for each equipment.

The Equipment Summary Report combines Work Order, Preventive, and Material cost information for each component. Equipment is selected by a range (scope) of unit and component codes.

The Sum of Estimated PM Hours lists weekly estimated PM personnel hours for up to one year. You review the report for man-hour scheduling.

The Inventory Lead Time report lists work orders with not enough parts. The reorder report lists parts that are below their reorder point.

Out of Service (OOS) Work Summary. The OOS report shows the time equipment was OOS in days, hours, and minutes. Work order cost is included.
