Repairs Management - Lighthouse MES Maintenance

Improve response times to equipment breakdowns

Need to record breakdowns, manage workload and track maintenance response time?

Breakdowns need to be addressed quickly, issues need to be prioritised and even the least urgent problems shouldn’t be forgotten. Use the Repairs management module of Lighthouse MES software to:

Allow Operatives to electronically record problems at the workplace
Automatically raise work requests (work orders)
Prioritise work requests, escalate if necessary
Record the work done and track response times

What are the benefits of the Repairs Management module?

Improve response time – speed up the communication between production and maintenance
Manage workloads and priorities – improve the day to day management of workloads, authorise for release, prioritise, assign to individuals or teams
Improve visibility – so everyone can see what is happening e.g. status of repair request
Accountability – track response times and repair times
Improve effectiveness – ensure non-critical jobs are never missed - they are prompted when other related work is planned.
Build up a history – know what has been done (and not done), to help make decisions about what to do next e.g. spare parts
Go paperless – facilitate mobility of maintenance teams around the plant with a mobile maintenance application. Get access to drawings quickly on-line
