# CMMS for Manufacturing

Unplanned breakdowns halt production lines

No visibility into which machines fail most or why

Reactive maintenance costs 3-9x more than preventive

Spare parts stockouts delay critical repairs

## Automate preventive maintenance for every machine

Schedule weekly lubrication, monthly inspections, and quarterly overhauls. FixAhead auto-generates work orders days in advance so technicians are prepared — not scrambling after a failure.

- Recurring PM schedules at any frequency
- Auto-generate work orders before due dates
- Procedure checklists with photo evidence for compliance

## Identify your most unreliable equipment

MTBF and MTTR analytics pinpoint which machines break most often and how long repairs take. Breakdown analysis classifies failures by root cause — so you fix the pattern, not just the symptom.

- MTBF identifies failure-prone equipment
- MTTR tracks repair efficiency over time
- Breakdown codes classify failure types and root causes

## Real-time production floor visibility

Your maintenance command center shows work order status, on-time completion rate, technician workload, and open issues — all filterable by production line or location.

- Dashboard KPIs for production floor managers
- Filter by location to see per-line performance
- Track PM compliance rates to prevent missed inspections

## Technicians execute PMs right on the production floor

Your maintenance team receives work orders on their phones, follows procedure checklists step by step, and captures photo evidence of completed work — without leaving the production line.

- Push notifications the moment a work order is assigned
- Guided checklists ensure consistent PM execution
- Photo evidence documents completed inspections on-site

## Log parts used right on the production floor

Technicians log bearing nuts, filters, belts, and seals consumed during repairs — directly from their phone. Inventory updates in real time so your storeroom never surprises you with a stockout.

- Parts consumption logged per work order from mobile
- Planned vs actual quantities tracked on-site
- Automatic inventory sync prevents critical spare stockouts

## Real-time work order status from every machine

Supervisors see which jobs are assigned, in progress, or completed across every production line — updated in real time as technicians work from the mobile app.

- Filter work orders by status, priority, or production line
- Track technician progress without radio calls
- Instant visibility when critical equipment is back online

## Scenario: Production Line Equipment Maintenance

A manufacturing plant runs 50+ machines across 3 production lines. Every machine is cataloged with custom fields — operating hours, RPM range, last calibration date. Preventive maintenance auto-generates work orders days in advance.

- Reliability reports identify the most unreliable machines
- PM compliance tracking ensures nothing falls through the cracks
- QR codes on every machine let operators report issues instantly
- Parts tracking ensures critical spares are always in stock
