Reactive Maintenance Module Overview
The Reactive Maintenance Module is designed to manage and document maintenance activities that occur in response to faulty machinery. Reactive maintenance typically involves responding to a machine breakdown, repairing, or replacing the faulty equipment to restore functionality.
Setting Up Reactive Maintenance
Reactive maintenance can be set up in two ways:
- Directly through the Reactive Maintenance module: This allows for manual creation of reactive maintenance tasks.
- Through the Fault Reports module: When a fault report is approved, it automatically triggers the creation of a reactive maintenance task.
Linking Reactive Maintenance to Other Modules
The Reactive Maintenance module allows you to link and trigger actions in other related modules, ensuring comprehensive safety and operational management.
These include:
- Simple Risk Assessments: If necessary, reactive maintenance tasks can be linked to Simple Risk Assessments. The task appears in the Simple Risk Assessments module, and the assessment must be completed before proceeding.
- Interventions: If an intervention is required for the reactive maintenance, the task appears in the Interventions module and must be completed as part of the intervention process.
- Risk Assessments: If a full Risk Assessment is required, the task appears in the Risk Assessments module, and the assessment must be completed as part of the process.
Forms and Documentation
- Initial Reactive Maintenance Form: When the reactive maintenance has been created, users can fill out a form that captures all the relevant details about the issue.
- Post-Maintenance Investigation Form: Once the maintenance is completed, users can fill out an investigation form to document the findings and actions taken.
All forms used for reactive maintenance can be digitised using the Form Builder functionality, allowing for easier data capture and record-keeping.
Machine Downtime & Repair Time
Once the reactive maintenance is finished, the system displays the following details:
- Machine Down Time: This is the time elapsed before starting the reactive maintenance, showing how long the machine was non-operational.
- Time for Repair: This is the time taken to complete the maintenance work and restore the machine to operational status.
Reactive Maintenance Statuses
Reactive maintenance tasks are tracked through the following statuses:
- Not Started: The maintenance task has not yet begun.
- Started: The maintenance task is currently in progress.
- Finished: The maintenance task has been completed, and the machine is restored to operational status.
The Reactive Maintenance Module ensures that all maintenance activities in response to machine failures are systematically documented, linked to necessary risk assessments and interventions, and tracked in terms of downtime and repair time. By integrating with other modules and utilising digitised forms, the system provides an efficient and organised approach to managing reactive maintenance.
