Maintenance steps
A maintenance step is an instruction that an engineer must complete as part of a maintenance procedure. These steps define the specific tasks and can be executed in sequence to ensure the maintenance work is done accurately and consistently.
One or more steps are linked to a procedure to guide engineers through the job. Steps typically appear in sequence during execution.
- Pass / fail /skipped
- The engineer confirms whether the step was completed successfully, failed, or skipped. If an engineer skips or fails a step, they are prompted to enter a comment as to why it was skipped or failed.
- Variable
- The engineer records a measured value. If the value is within tolerance, the step is marked as complete. If an engineer enters a value that is out of tolerance, a warning will be displayed before committing the form.
- Maintenance procedure
- Nested steps from another procedure are automatically inserted and appear to the engineer as part of the same list.
Maintenance materials
Each maintenance step for the maintenance procedure can optionally have materials associated, to define the materials required for the specific step. These are the spare parts that are expected to be used as part of the maintenance work.
Images
Images can be uploaded and associated with steps. These are displayed to engineers as they execute the procedure.
Documents
Documents such as work instructions, reference manuals, or safety data sheets may be attached for additional context.
