Linking Downtime to a Corrective Work Order

Since downtime is tracked and entered separately from work orders there needs to be a simple way to assign a corrective work order to manage this downtime instance. Fortunately there is. The CMMS has a downtime cause to remedial task mapping component. When a downtime record is entered simply check the check box labeled: Auto-Create Work Order Record. When the work order is saved a new work order is either automatically created or the user is prompted to select the corrective task from the dialog screen that appears. The selected task is then automatically mapped to this equipment and the failure cause. If this same breakdown cause reoccurs the task is automatically used next time. This saves time and provides consistency.
