Created by actual technicians that were frustrated with what other CMMS systems were lacking.
Our system was built with the assets and its sub-assets to be the nucleus of the system. Everything is linked to the assets and sub-assets. This system was built to make things simple for the novice computer user.
Lets be honest, mechanics don't like having to do paperwork and documenting. This system make it easy with interaction and integrated tools. This system focuses more on the click and point then physical enteries. This help to reduce human error and simplifies use.

What is a Sub-Asset?
Using a FLEXO printing machine center as an example which is considered an "Asset". This type of machine center can contain up to 20 "Sub-Assets" (Prefeeder, print units, die cutting section, stacker, etc.) to function. These sub-assets can be made by separate manufactures and needs to be tracked individually. These work centers are typically tracked using a single GL Account Number assigned to that work center. All work performed against the work center must capture cost and labor. Having the relationship of asset and sub-asset, work pointing to a sub-asset will still get linked back to the proper asset account.
When selecting an asset, you can get all the history of all the sub-assets (see image to the right). Views such as this helps to see where the real issues are occurring & what they are and where attention needs to be focused. Breaking down the history with sub-assets allows you better tools for CapEx decisions.
Just because there are work orders with more labor on one sub-asset does not make it worse, it may just be age related. There can be another sub-asset with less work orders and less labor that is costing more revenue and more serious concerns. The ability to drill into a sub-asset easily makes it easy to view its history. It's hard to make informed decisions when the data is flooded with work orders that are not tied to the sub-asset you are wanting to evaluate.
"Reason Codes" help to separate the issues within the work orders. Numerous electrical issues can point to age and requiring replacement or upgrading the electrical components. Numerous hydraulic and pnuematic issues can point to worn or cracking o-rings and seals from age. Reason codes help to make decisions of what is neccessary to make the sub-asset more relaiable and not breakdown during production runs.
