Calendar Maintenance Scheduling of
preventive maintenance is not effective because it's based on an
inaccurate assumption of the run time or cycle count of the equipment.
Of course you can manually read the "meters" and input run time and
cycle count data (if its available) to your CMMS, but that's not a
productive use of labor. Now, you can reduce downtime due to unplanned
maintenance issues by scheduling preventive maintenance using actual
cycle count and run time of all your production and auxiliary equipment.
TheP.M. module tracks total cycle count and runtime
for each machine, tool, and sub-tool...each
with their own maintenance schedule. Color-coding
identifies tools that are "near due"
(yellow--within 5% of useful life) and "due"
(red).

"Reduced die maintenance
resets due to the PM program has saved us almost $8,000 per year."

| "Calendar based maintenance with over 65 production
machines requiring monthly, semi annual and annual maintenance was very ineffective. Our
workhorse machines were left waiting, while under utilized machines received unneeded
attention. Configuring and implementation of the PM program was very easy.
Tracking and performing maintenance by cycle count insures fast running machinery
receives the maintenance they require. Now we can focus on the highly utilized
equipment, and insure they run without any issues."

Master/Machine Tool can have 99 Sub Tools, each with it's own PM schedule.
A log of Maintenance Activity is maintained for analysis and process
improvement. Data can be easily exported to your corporate
EAM and CMMS systems to eliminate manual data collection and
transcription.
