Fusion Operations can be used to schedule and record the maintenance of your equipment. This is useful when equipment will be out of production, to help with planning of workload across your shopfloor.

To define the maintenance work to be completed, you will need to create a Maintenance Order in the management interface. To do this follow these steps:

1. Select Maintenance from the bottom of the side menu.

2. Click Add Maintenance Order.

3. Select on the form the following fields:

i. Machine (and, if applicable, the Component) the maintenance order is for.

ii. Code and Due Date

iii. Priority level, and the Assigned Workers

iv. Performed By External Entity checkbox, if the maintenance will not be completed by your own workers.

The other fields are optional, but it is also important to ensure that the Type is set correctly, as either Corrective, if the work is being completed due to an issue with the equipment, or Preventive if this is planned regular maintenance.

4. Once you have completed the information select Save Maintenance Order.

In the Maintenance Orders page you will then be able to see the list of these. You can navigate through this list by selecting Open, Closed, Archived, or Pending Requests. From the Actions column on the right-hand side you are able to; close the order if you no longer need it, mark it as completed, archive or delete it.

As well as creating Maintenance Orders as a one-off event you can also create recurring Maintenance Orders. To do this you will first need an existing Maintenance Order which will be used as the template, from which all the information will be replicated. This template order must be set to a Preventive type.

To then set the recurring order you must:

1. Go to Maintenance from the side menu, then Recurring Orders

2. Click Add Recurring Order.

3. You must fill some additional information:

i. Code

ii. Start date you want the recurrency to begin.

iii. Stop Recurrency On is not required, but can be used to define an end date.

iv. Frequency of the recurrence is required, and is defined as a number of days, weeks or months.

v. The final field to set, which is required, is the Maintenance Order which will be used as the template.

4. Select Save Recurring Order once you have completed the information.

You will then be able to view a list of these on the Recurring Orders page.
