Work Orders

Schedule recurring work on your equipment and follow it from planning to execution.

Work Orders Scheduler dashboard with late, active and done work order tasks

Overview

Keep your equipment running correctly

Work on equipment can be routine or follow a breakdown. With Work Orders you plan it in advance and make sure it is performed correctly.

A work order task is attached to a specific piece of equipment. It describes what needs to be done, as one or more work order items, and at what interval: for example per shift, daily, weekly or monthly.

Capabilities

What's included in Work Orders

Dashboard

One overview of late, active and inactive work order tasks, with tables for done, running and late tasks.

Email notifications

Automatic emails when a scheduled work order is late or overdue, sent to the users or groups linked to the equipment.

Views and filters

Switch between calendar and work order views and apply filters to show only the work orders you need.

Profiles

Save your filters and settings to a profile, update it when things change, or delete it.

Equipment status

When a task is started, the equipment can be switched to Scheduled Down. It returns to its previous state once the work is done.

Overlapping

Work orders can overlap: you can schedule a new work order on top of an existing one.

How it works

From work order to execution

A process engineer sets up and schedules the work. An operator carries it out.

Create the work order

Step 1

Work orders are created in EZ-Engine. Each work order item combines a flow that defines the steps with the part it applies to.

Add it to the equipment

Step 2

Select the equipment, the work order with its items, and the interval. The task appears in the list of submitted tasks.

Schedule the task

Step 3

Choose the shift and the day of the week. From then on the task is active and appears in the calendar.

Execute the work order

Step 4

The operator starts the scheduled work order and carries out its work items. The status changes from Not started to Running.
