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^® 9x, ME, NT, 2000 or XP operating systems, Equipment PM™ offers an easy-to-use graphical interface and extensive built-in help features.

Equipment Templates
One way that 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

• Standard 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. Using the Template System redundant typing is eliminated, allowing more time to focus on building management.

Scheduling PM Tasks
After all pieces of equipment have been assigned to their respective locations, the process of scheduling preventative maintenance begins. This is done by assigning a month or week to the maintenance tasks that were copied from the equipment template.
 

Generating PM Work Orders
To guarantee that no task goes unchecked, all scheduled tasks are dispatched using PM Work Orders. Once equipment is installed and PM tasks assigned, generating PM Work Orders is a simple matter of selecting the date range and PM Work Orders are created with the tasks to be performed for each piece of equipment.
 

Work Order Dispatch System
Unscheduled work or tenant requests can be assigned using the Work Order system. Simply select a building (or tenant), type in the description of work to be performed and choose the employee to do the work and print. Each work order can track multiple employees and parts for total cost of each job. And best of all, no more looking for work order copies. They can all be found and reprinted right from your computer.
 

The search utility is the key to unlocking valuable customer feedback and improving your process through it.

• Searches can be run using virtually any conceivable combination of criteria.

For example, you can view a list of uncompleted work orders to dispatch to your workers reminding them to turn in their paperwork.

• Searches can even assist you in keeping track of repeat occurrences.

For example, you may select criteria that will show you all the "Too Cold" "Complaints" that you had "Between 4/1/2005 and 4/30/2005" in "Building C".

• Also, you may print a list of work orders for a single day or for months at a time and even narrow down the selection based on certain criteria you select.

Comprehensive Report Capabilities
The built-in report system provides an efficient way of tracking completed and incomplete tasks.  In addition, equipment histories and part stock levels can be managed.
