COMPUTERISED MAINTENANCE
IMPROVES COST CONTROL
Tool-Track records full details
of what you spend on your maintenance activities.
You predict what time and materials you expect to
use for each PM task but you can amend these figures
if there is a variance when you come to do the work.
You enter labour hours and materials associated
with non-scheduled maintenance as well as any costs
incurred with outside suppliers. When you update
your labour rates or revise the cost of an inventory
item Tool-Track uses the amended figures automatically,
avoiding any clerical effort in updating the cost
base. The Cost Reports can be for a single Tool
or Machine, or Groups of Tools and Machines or all
Tools and Machines. You can look at PM costs seperately
from Repair costs or combine the two. You can look
over a range of time-scales or even the whole life
of a Tool or Machine. And you can report on a Tool
by Version or ECN reference which makes it easier
to recharge for work carried out on Customer-owned
tooling.
In general the reports will show
you the true cost of maintaining specific tools
or machines and will point you towards those that
cost the most to maintain. This can help justify
refurbishment or replacement of problematic equipment
on financial as well as operational grounds. Substantial
savings can be achieved in inventory costs by identifying
slow- or non-moving stock. Parts common to more
than one machine or tool can be identified within
Tool-Track leading to lower stocking levels and
reduced inventory costs. The more you know about
where the money goes, the more easily you can ensure
it is spent in the best way.
