Preventive Maintenance Tasks (PMs)

To access a list of all scheduled and overdue Preventive Maintenance Tasks (PMs), touch the Tools icon from the Plant Overview screen (shown below). 

Once you click on the Tools icon, it will take you to the PM page, which lists all Scheduled PMs, as well as Overdue PMs. To start the Preventive Maintenance, select the Start icon for the maintenance action you wish to commence or continue. 

For simplicity, Users also have the ability to view ONLY the PMs assigned to them by clicking the drop-down arrow (shown below), and selecting the appropriate option.

Once the PM is started, a list of steps that need to be checked off will appear by touching the Eye Ball icon (shown below). 

As steps are completed, simply touch inside the check block to confirm completion.  NOTE: If you cannot complete a step for any reason, you must enter a comment by selecting the pencil icon at the step level or the PM cannot be completed. 

Enter the appropriate comments and then click Save.

To create a Work Order for a PM step that cannot be completed, touch the Clipboard icon (shown below)

Fill in the details of the Work Order Request and then touch the Save button.

Once all steps have been completed, or comments have been added for uncompleted steps, the Complete button (shown below) will become active.  Touch Complete to complete the PM. 

NOTE: Spindle will not allow you to complete a PM unless all steps are check or have a comment assigned to the step.

If a Maintenance Worker runs out of time or needs to move to another task, select Suspend (shown below), to suspend the PM for completion at a later time.
