Maintenance

Maintenance provides the tool to ensure the reliability of the instruments by determining the instruments which are required for preventive maintenance in a periodic manner or for repair to maximize the utilization of the SIM instruments. This is categorized into two types - preventive maintenance and repair. This module though will not serve to carry-out such tasks or activities in SIM, it only generates the list of instruments for preventive maintenance or for repair. The actual maintenance activity is outsourced.

The Maintenance tab of the Item Management should be configured to set and schedule the maintenance of the instruments - this is configurable in Item in Location. For more information, see Adding items.

Instruments that are sent to maintenance - Preventive Maintenance or Repair, are blocked in tray assembly. In order to utilize them again, release the instruments.
