Equipment PM Overview

Every MRO professional understands the intricate needs and often-monumental costs associated with facility maintenance. With these challenges in mind, Rimrock Technologies introduces Equipment PM, a computerized maintenance management system designed to schedule and track preventative maintenance tasks, dispatch and manage work orders, track employee labor, and manage inventory.

Developed for Microsoft Windows XP or higher operating systems, Equipment PM offers an easy-to-use graphical interface and extensive built-in help features.

Projects

All PM Tasks, customers, buildings, templates, equipment, etc. are housed within a single file called a Project File. When Equipment PM is first launched, you'll have the option of initially creating 1 of 2 sample Project Files.

XYZ Maintenance Corp - HVAC Equipment

ABC Custodial - Janitorial Equipment

Equipment Templates

Equipment PM eliminates tedious data entry is through its use of Equipment Templates. An Equipment Template stores all of the general information about a certain class of equipment such as:

Supplier

Make

Model

PM Maintenance Tasks and Frequencies

Once templates are created for a certain class of equipment every piece of equipment is installed to each specific building location by copying the template and assigning specific information such as location and serial number. By using the template system redundant typing is eliminated, allowing more time to focus on building management.

Installed Equipment

Use the Installed Equipment screen to maintain installed assets. However, once a piece of equipment has been set up, modifications only need to be made when a PM Task needs to be modified or add information to the card file.

Equipment Parts

The Equipment Parts screen is where information on each part is stored. This information, including supplier, the unit price, sale price, reorder point and overstock level is used on several reports that help you track your inventory. Parts can be assigned to PM Work Order tasks or One-Time Work Orders.

One-Time Work Orders

The One-Time Work Orders screen is where one-time work orders are created for unplanned work. As calls come into the office, create a work order that can be given to one or more people.

Selecting a piece of equipment in a One-Time Work Order will include unplanned maintenance to the asset's PM history.

PM Work Orders

PM Work Orders are reports that are generated from active Installed Equipment that have PM tasks due based on their frequency and Last PM date. Only tasks due, within a selected date range, will show up on the PM Work Order.

For example, a piece of equipment may have 20 PM Tasks associated with it. Some tasks may be scheduled to be complete monthly, others quarterly and still others annually. If the quarterly and annual tasks were completed just last month, then only the monthly tasks will show up on the PM Work Order this month.
