Maintenance management
The key responsibility of the manufacturing department is to assure the product
performance. TO bring out the best end product, the quality should be assured in
each stage of manufacturing. For this it is important to manage the quality of the
equipment used for production.
To ensure production quality, Odoo has introduced maintenance module. Odoo provides
you with maintenance protocols like tracking equipment and maintenance request by
computing standard statistics. Odoo helps you to carry out maintenance in two ways:
Preventive and Corrective
Preventing Maintenance
Preventive maintenance is the routinely performed maintenance on the equipment prevents
the possibility for dysfunction. It is performed when the equipment is in working
condition. Preventive maintenance is carried out before the equipment notifies any
fault/failure. Preventive maintenance, in short, as servicing of equipment, carried
in regular intervals.
Corrective Maintenance:
Corrective maintenance, on the other hand, is a maintenance operation performed
to distinguish, segregate, and redress an issue. This type of maintenance helps
to correct faulty equipment and helps it to reestablish to operational condition.
Equipment maintenance aims at reducing the downtime as well as aims to make the
manufacturing process more proficient. Regular servicing at fixed intervals reduces
the risk of equipment failure.
To make use of Odoo Maintenance module you have to first install the App.
Using this module a user can carry out different maintenance operations.
