The primary goal of preventive (a.k.a. "preventative") maintenance is to prevent the failure of equipment before it actually occurs.
Preventive Maintenance in AyaNova is a feature used to schedule recurring service automatically.
While the term preventive maintenance is used, technically speaking you can use AyaNova's Preventive Maintenance feature for any type of recurring service workorder.
By pre-planning service, you make sure that:
For example, you might provide photocopier service for rental machines. By using the PM feature of AyaNova, you can automatically have AyaNova create service workorders on a regular basis (i.e. every six months) identifying what service to perform, to identify meter usage, etc.
Create a PM once, and then use it to automatically or manually generate service work orders.

You will note that the same fields and workorder items appear in service work order, the quote and the preventive maintenance order entry screens. The service work order, the quote and the preventive maintenance order use portions of the same screens/fields for ease of transfer between the three.
The AyaNova Generator program creates service work orders from preventive maintenance work orders on schedule automatically. See also:
NOTE: If using the stand-alone default installation, the internal Generator only runs when logged in as a user that is not the AyaNova Administrator and has full rights to preventive maintenance and service workorder objects.
NOTE: If using network configuration, the AyaNova Generator must be configured and running to auto-generate service workorders from preventive maintenance. See also: |
