Administration

The administration module of CMMS (CMMS Admin) is designed for administrators (manufacturing engineers) to perform pre-configuration tasks so that plant machinery and equipment is properly maintained. Within the CMMS Admin portal, plant administrators define groups responsible for repair and maintenance, set notification alerts, and add plants, departments, and projects to the CMMS system. 42Q’s arsenal of CMMS tools consists of two configuration portals (CMMS Admin and CMMS Assets); five production portals (CMMS Calibration, CMMS Preventive Maintenance, CMMS Spare Parts, CMMS Work Order, and CMMS Work Request); and two reporting portals (CMMS Report and CMMS Dashboard). The CMMS Touch and Mobile tool is available for mobile/tablet applications. Refer to the table below for sub-module names and corresponding functions.

Escalation Setting

This section covers how to perform escalation setting maintenance. Whenever an asset fails or a work order has been in a certain status for too long, higher levels of authority need to be notified to expedite maintenance. If maintenance fails to respond, additional levels must receive notification of the problem.

Escalation settings allow users to define the time(hours or minutes) how soon to receive the notification when the assets fail or work order is due, also allow users to define the groups or additional persons who will receive notifications.

Escalation settings define who will receive notifications and when they will receive those notifications.

CMMS Settings

CMMS Settings is an administrative feature used to configure workflow according to the plant's process to handle work orders. . Plants define permissions and work order flows to reflect the activity and product on the selected production line. CMMS Settings is dependant upon Group, Asset, and Location. All three must be configured before a workflow can be assigned.

Go to: CMMS Admin > CMMS Settings.

Figure 50: CMMS Settings Main Page

Select Add.
The Add CMMS Settings window displays:

Figure 51: CMMS Settings

The following fields are available.

CMMS Settings Fields

Subject: Title of the Work order flow. The title should be easily identifiable to the end-user and should reference the asset, its location within the plant, or the repair itself.

Subject Title Examples:

Work Order Flow for ICT Asset-Bldg1-Floor 2
Preventive Maintenance work order flow for Koh Young inspection machinery

Work Order Type: Select Repair, PM, Maintenance or Checklist. Repair/Checklist WOs are scheduled as needed. Preventive Maintenance (PM) WOs are ongoing and require a step-by-step checklist.

Figure 52: CMMS Settings Work Order Type

Location: The location of the asset being serviced. A drop-down feature includes all CMMS locations displayed with familiar parent/child folders in a tree-type format . Note: If the Location field is left blank, the system will apply the work order flow to all plant assets.
Work Order Flow: The pathway for the work order.

Figure 53: Work Order Flow Options

Work Order Abbreviations

Assign: Assign

WIP: Work In Progress

WFP: Waiting for Parts

WFB: Waiting for Buy Off

Close: Close

'WIP Permissions: Select the users with permission to change the WO status to Work In Process: Requester, Assignee, or Both'.
assign → WIP/wfp → wfb → close: This work order flow places the most standard upon a work order. It is useful for asset maintenance in plants where products require strict compliance and/or build precise products.
assign → WIP → close: This workflow does not require confirmation. The technician is allowed to directly close the work order when s/he completes the tasks. There is no option to mark missing spare parts in this workflow. Reserve this workflow for procedures that do not require specialized parts.
assign → WIP/wfp → close: This workflow does not require confirmation. The technician is allowed to directly close the work order when s/he completes the tasks. Missing parts may be noted while the work order remains in WIP.
assign → wfb → close: This workflow requires confirmation but does not allow the technician to leave the work order incomplete, or mark the work order on hold due to missing parts.
assign → close: This work order flow is the least restrictive, and the quickest. There is no option to move the work order to a temporary WIP status, and no option to mark the work order WIP while waiting for parts. It is useful for checklists (sets of pre-production tasks such as cleaning the line, activating fans, ensuring surfaces are clear), or ordinary rote maintenance that can be quickly completed without special parts.

WFP Permissions: Select the users with permission to change the WO status to Waiting For Parts: Requester, Assignee, or Both
Close Permissions: Select the users with permission to change the WO status to Close (complete): Requester, Assignee, or Both
Labor Mandatory: Yes/No: Select Yes if the technician must record Labor hours before marking the work order Closed or WFB. Select No if the technician (assignee) is not required to report her/his labor hours.

Note: If Yes is selected, the system will not allow the technician to complete the work order until labor is recorded and the system will display an error message telling the user to record labor.

Email to: Select the employees who will receive notifications about this Work Order:
- Assignee: Technician assigned as the user of the Group
- Requestor: Employee who requested the Work Order
- Assignee Group: The Group assigned to conduct the Work Order.
- Assignee Supervisor: The supervisor who has enabled the approve function for the assignee group.
- Requester Supervisor: The supervisor who has enabled the approve function for the Requester group.

Here is an example of how to set someone not to receive the PM Work Order notification emails.

User scenario: The user doesn't want to receive the PM work order notification emails anymore.

As seen in Figure 62a, the Requester group and Requester can receive the PM work order notification emails.

Solution: Delete the user from the requester group. Please see the add/delete users to the group for details.

If the user is the PM requester, please make sure to untick the Requester for the Email to set.

Permission Rules

The following section further describes the rules that apply to each work order permission.

Note: Work Orders are completed in the Work Order module of CMMS (Production > CMMS > Work Order). PM type work orders are defined in the CMMS Preventive Maintenance (Production > CMMS > Preventive Maintenance) and completed in CMMS Work Order.

Users cannot reject or close a work order once it is assigned.
The following section describes each work order status.

TIP: Read more about Work Orders in CMMS Work Order.

Waiting for Buy Off is the final checkpoint before the work order is moved to completed when the work order flow of assigned → WIP/wfb → close is selected. The following rules apply:
Only users given WFB Permission can move a WO status from Waiting for Buy Off to Closed.
A work order cannot be canceled when it is in Waiting for Buy Off'status.
WOs cannot be moved from Waiting for Buy Off to Closed until the technician marks the WO Checklist “Completed.”
WIP: Only users given WIP Permission can move a WO status from WIP to Closed.
