Customizing Services in PMXpert to Suit Your Requirements

One of the major advantages of PMXpert is its flexibility. The main feature that allows PMXpert to adjust to any maintenance requirement is the user-defined Service setup.

When you set up PMXpert for your business, you completely customize the services. You enter and define all service information, so you’ll never have to “make do” with pre-set options that are not quite right, or services you don’t want.

For example, services can be called anything you like and you can create as many as you need. If you want to set up your services on a cycle, you can choose time, a meter or counter (such as an odometer or hour meter), or a combination of meter and time.

Other options are available, such as whether to “Adjust for Downtime” if you want the scheduler to compensate for asset downtime, or “Keep on Schedule” if you want PMXpert to ignore that a service was performed early or late when next scheduling the service.

If you want, you can also Link Services so that two services that occur in the same window will be pulled into the same Work Order, meaning the asset will only go for servicing once instead of several times over a short period.

For more information about setting up your services, see the PMXpert User Manual at Chapter 2: Setting Up PMXpert, Step 6: Services.

After creating your services, you can then set up an asset or piece of equipment with as many services as necessary. When you add a service to an asset, you can add even more details to customize the service to your preventive maintenance processes, such as the people responsible for completing the labor, specific procedures that need to be followed, and service details such as parts and fluids required for the service.

To learn how to assign services to assets, see Chapter 3: Assets, Assign Services to Assets.
