What It Is
Automated scheduling system for recurring maintenance tasks.
Why It Matters
- Prevents costly breakdowns
- Extends asset life
- Meets compliance/brand standards
- Reduces emergency repairs
How It Works
Build Procedures: Create task checklists.
- Location-based (general use)
- Asset-based (specific equipment type)
To begin a New Preventative Maintenance schedule, navigate to the Manage tab, and click on New Preventative Maintenance.
Create Schedule:
Fill out the required fields, such as:
- Name, description
- Frequency
- Locations
- Procedures
- Start date (optional end date)
Note: Locations and Procedures must be created before being included in a Preventative Maintenance Schedule.
Track & Complete: System generates recurring instances.
Users complete tasks or mark skipped (must provide reason).
Past instances can be reviewed in the schedule detail view.
Best Practices
- Start with 3–5 schedules (monthly HVAC, quarterly guest room checks).
- Stagger start dates to balance workload.
- Use location-based procedures unless highly asset-specific.
- Skipped PMs remain visible for compliance history.
FAQs:
Can I edit a Preventative Maintenance schedule after launch?
Yes, minor changes can be made, but new schedule would be needed for major edits.
Where do past cycles live?
