Equipment Maintenance Control is designed
for those who want to establish a regular maintenance program on all
their construction, manufacturing, and shop equipment. Including vehicles,
power tools, personal equipment or any other item that requires periodical
maintenance of any kind.
• EMC is now available
as a single or multiple user application.•
The main objective of Equipment Maintenance Control is to enable you
to individually monitor and control, all of the services on all your
equipment and then to develop a history of each of these services for
future examination. This will help you to establish a custom maintenance
program that fits your specific needs.
Easy entry forms to set up all your equipment in a central browse that
is sortable by equipment number, category, make or a combination of category
and make.
••Some
of EMC's outstanding features••
1. Allows a conscientious user to set up a maintenance
program where the service people can focus their attention on the equipment
and services that need it the most. This could possibly allow one man
to do the same job that two are doing now.

2. Allows you to keep all the services on your equipment up to date
at all times. Part of this is done through the use of a printable duelist
of the services that are due for each piece of equipment. The printout
can include parts and tools needed to do the service.

3. Allows you to monitor all reservoir levels
and amounts added when low. Provides a complete history listing of all
servicing done on all your equipment.

4. Provides an automatic warning system that allows you to view any
equipment that has top off amounts above what your settings are set for.

7.Provides you with a Query Wizard to locate like problems from the
past. Or Searches may be done by date, who reported the problem, who
fixed it , problem description, type of problem, etc.

8. Provides all these functions and many others at a fraction of the
cost of similar programs. See how below.

•Setting
Up Services
By knowing exactly what is going on with your equipment, you can determine
how each piece of equipment needs to be serviced in order to fulfill your
goals. This is done initially by creating a list of services for each piece
of equipment you have and then monitoring these services. As you add each
service to the list of services for a piece of equipment, you will enter
information about the service and set some settings for it. This would
include a name for the service, how often you want the service done, what
interval method will determine when the service should become due for service
and several other settings. These methods include 'mileage', for equipment
that has an odometer, 'hours' for equipment that has an hour meter, and
'set number of days' for equipment such as stationary floor equipment,
appliances or lawn equipment that do not have an odometer or an hour meter.
Equipment that has services that need consistent attention can have settings
that put it on the due list very often. Other services that always check
out good can be set to be checked less often.
•How The Services
Are Kept Up To Date.
When a service is done on a piece of equipment the hours or miles (if
applies) are noted and the date when the service was done. When this
information is entered all of the services on the list for the piece
of equipment are automatically checked to see if any other services on
its list have become due as a result of the newly entered date and or
mileage, and other data entered. Any services that have exceeded its
service interval are added to the Due List and the services completed
are removed.
(See Next Paragraph)
• What's On The
Due List
The printout shows the name or number of each piece of equipment that
has services due and lists all the services that are due under the equipment
name or number. The due list also has a place for the date and the hours,
or miles on the odometer, if either applies, a checkbox which the service
person checks when he completes the service, and a 'Remarks' column where
he can, optionally, write in what action was taken to complete the service
such as the amount of a product needed to top off a reservoir, if one
exists. The due list can optionally be printed out with the parts and
tools required to do the job. (See Next Paragraph)
•About The Due List Printouts
The option to print out a due list, designed to show what services need
to be done and to get the information about the services that were
done, makes this program ideal for companies who use one or more service
people to take care of the maintenance work. This allows a lead person
to monitor what is being done, how it is being done, coordinate the
service people, and to customize a maintenance program that conforms
to the needs of the company.
The Due List can be printed out whenever needed and is used by the person
who will be doing the service. When services are completed, the handout
is returned and the new data is entered to a list of services done. The
due list is then automatically checked and re-updated
•About The History
of Services
After you have used 'Equipment Maintenance Control' for awhile, and have
established a history of servicing for your equipment, you can click
on a menu selection to see the complete history of servicing for all
your equipment. This list can be sorted and filtered so that you can
see all the services in a variety of ways. This allows you the ability
to individually inspect every service on every piece of equipment. The
list may be filtered so that you can see a single service done on a single
piece of equipment such as oil changes or adding oil. Using this information,
you can determine if any changes are needed as to how often a service
should be done or if mechanical or over consumption problems may be occurring.
By noticing how much it takes to keep a reservoir filled each time a
service is done, you may discover that something needs mechanical attention
before it becomes serious. Also see: About the warning system for automatic
notification of over consumption problems.
•About The Warning
System
There is a also a warning system for services which have a reservoir
and could leak. When you put a service on the Warning System it will
be monitored and placed on a warning list if there is a possible consumption
problem. It is not unusual for a engine to need a quart of oil. There
is no cause for alarm. But if it needs a quart of oil everyday, then
there may be a problem. When using the Warning System on a service, you
can set a service to be watched for any amount of consumption for any
number of times the service was done. (See Next Paragraph)
•How The Warning System Settings
Can Be Used
In the case described above, the service could have been set for 2 quarts
in 2 services which would place the service on the Warning List after
the second time in a row that the engine took 1 quart of oil. It could
also have been set for 3 quarts in 3 services which would place the service
on the Warning List after the third time in a row that the engine took
1 quart. In the case of heavy construction equipment which could use
a gallon of oil a day with no cause for alarm the setting might be set
for 3 gallons in 2 services or 5 gallons in 4 services. The settings
are up to you.
•About The Warranty
List
You may keep a list of all parts on warranty for each piece of equipment.
Before purchasing any new parts check the list to see if the old part
is under warranty. The list displays the part number, vendor, vendor
address and phone number, receipt number, cost, and other vital information
about the part.
•About The Problem
List
You may also keep a list of problems you have had with your equipment
that is searchable with a QueryWizzard. You can form your own query's
to locate problems and or their solutions to past problems.
Listings can also be sorted, filtered and automatically searched through
to find out what was done to fix a problem that occurred in the past.
In the case of hard to figure out problems these features could save
a lot of downtime, and ultimately, money. Recurring problems are easier
to locate and document.
