Parts inventory metrics

Hi, Parts inventory does its basic function for sure but when it comes to metrics, triggers and data struggling here. Am I the only one who can’t find easy way to do stock check and pull useful metrics (easily) on parts usage/expenditure across plants? It is also problematic when it comes to consumables as no doubt parts have own lifespan and some quite short. On top we got actual consumables which usage deviates depending on machinery condition. So as example I need a report of a part or consumable over period time? Reporting module metrics seems more concentrating on asset and labour time/costs. There is nothing dedicated to inventory usage/costs/frequency? In current global supply chain climate inventory management becoming challenging task - parts usage and risk assessment of supply chain is trendy subject than ever. Stock checks - all we have is “restock” button? There is no way to have WO with fields for stock checks? Surely those who do inventory audits might want some record et

Time zone management

Hi MX teamThank you for your regular updates and invitations. I’m pleased to be part of this matter.I have a concern regarding time zone management in MX within our company. We have several units around the world, and we often create work orders (WO) assigned to teams regardless of their location. However, due to the differences in time zones, the WOs sometimes switch to overdue unexpectedly.Is it possible to set a different time zone for each location on MX so that WOs can be tracked effectively?Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Generating Asset Maintenance Reports

With the Premium plan in MaintainX, is it possible to generate asset maintenance reports? If so, how can I create reports that document all the work performed and costs incurred for a selected list of assets?

Reorganizing tasks for better workflow

Is there any way of reorganizing tasks too allow for better workflow?  I have tasks assigned that are out of order and make the workflow very inefficient. I am unable to find a way to reorganize tasks for a better flow to reduce engineer travel downtime, if followed as per top to bottom on the mobile app.

SDS Management in MaintainX?

Anyone tried to manage SDS Sheets and inventory in MaintainX?I’d love to know if you’ve set something up in your system to help manage the continual bane of SDS sheet management, and what you did if you do.Right now, I’m only running a work order reminder to do my room by room checks for new materials (Because it is like gnomes sneak the chemicals in in the middle of the night without updating SDS books)Just curious if anyone has successfully found a way to adapt MaintainX to help with that particular headache in Factory/facility safety management.

Using Inventory for parts with "partial" usage (less than 1 unit per work order)

Curious how folks are addressing using the inventory system to track usage of supplies that would require “less than 1 unit” per work order completed. Here is an example: Condensate pan/drain cleaner used on mid season mini split maintenance. I buy the bottles by the quart and always like to have at least a couple around. Issue is, might only use ¼ of a quart per mini split head. 1. Is there a way to handle this in MaintainX2. Or am I just over thinking this getting that granular with the tracking of inventory..

Shop Floor - Requestors with no email or phone number

I have 7 different Machines on my shop floor. My operators who run these machines are not allowed phones on the floor. They also don’t have company email addresses. Each machine has a windows workstation.Their team leaders do (have company phones & emails & have the MaintainX app), but are not always at the machine.At the min, if my machine operators have a breakdown or issue, they say to my engineers - then if my engineer remembers, he will log the ticket. To get around it on a Test machine. I’ve signed up for a requestor account called the machine name using a disposable email address. Then they use the browser on the machine to raise a WO/Ticket. I want to get away from my engineers doing jobs without a record. So I was going to tell my operators to raise a ticket 1st - I was also going to tell my engineers not to do any jobs that don’t have a ticket. How do you do this?

Pre-operation inspection, automatic launch

Hi, Before using certain pieces of equipment our operators are required to complete an inspection of the equipment and log it.Is there a way I could create the inspection as a procedure in MaintainX that can be activated by the operator as they need it? If I can do this in MaintainX it would make the standard operating procedure easy to access and create a record to show the procedure is being complete.The operators have requester level licenses   Thanks,Ben

Managing reoccurring work orders.

Hello, Does anyone know a way to manage reoccurring work orders to pause or not populate through certain calendar periods like holidays. When creating the work order as reoccurring it gives me options for start date as well as frequency of weeks and days from the completion of the work order.  I am looking for a finish date of a reoccurring work order as this would allow me to leave my calendar empty when the factory is not operating. Thank you. Brent.
