Problem Statement
- maintain and manage their 200+ knitting machinery and IT assets
- generate reports on maintenance operations from remote locations to avoid relying on the employees at floor for accurate reports.
They resorted to maintenance automation for freedom from the maintenance of paper-based records. It was difficult for line supervisors to sync with maintenance progress and measure the accurate time consumed for repairs. They were not immediately aware of the blockers to quick service. The employees had to waste time on paper submission for maintenance reports. It was difficult to gather the data on maintenance operations performed during night shifts.
The management wished to assign maintenance tasks according to the arrangement of the knitting machine. Line supervisors wanted to associate specific engineers for each line.
They wished to classify assets in two categories before maintenance, as exclusive maintenance teams were available for the two disparate categories given below:
- Knitting machine
- IT assets
They wished confidentiality of operations between IT Head and knitting machine Maintenance Head on the asset details and maintenance progress. Each manager shall view only data relevant to their department.
