With the digitalisation of maintenance projects, the solutions to facilitate the work of operators are endless.
In this section, we will show some best practices that have been used to streamline and achieve a more efficient process when performing maintenance by KAEFER workers.
HISTORICAL RECORD
Having a historical record is essential for streamlining the planning and management a project. To achieve this, it is necessary to use an PROJECT APP that allows ordering the parts and, thus, generating a complete record in the database.
By having detailed information about the produced parts, the amount of material used, and their location in the line, we obtain complete traceability of the project, simplifying decision-making.
1. Order the part using the InPact PROJECT APP.
2. Manufacture it with the defined parameters.
3. Install it in the area to be maintained.
— Future maintenance —
4. Scan the label of the part with the InPact PROJECT APP.
5. Order the same part.
*Simplifying the work of the stakeholders involved by reducing actions ensures quality.
IDENTIFY THE AREA WITH THE DESCRIPTION ON THE LABEL
The description on the label allows you to identify the part and the workpack so that you can search for it in the logistics report.
0. Create the label.
1. Access the line you wish to perform the maintenance.
2. Stick the labels on the areas that need to be changed or stored.
*It facilitates the fitter work because he/she knows at a glance the areas in which to work.
3. Look for the part in the isolation report through the description.
4. In the warehouse, searches through the InPact LOGISTICS APP for the location and registers its consumption.
5. Install the material.
IDENTIFY THE MAINTENANCE AREA
The identification of the area where maintenance is to be carried out by the foreman or project manager makes it easy for the fitter to know which parts to change or store.
0. Create the label with arrows.
1. Access the line you wish to perform the maintenance.
2. Stick the labels on the areas that need to be changed or stored.
*It facilitates the fitter work because he/she knows at a glance the areas in which to work.
In the case of reusing the material, the labels can identify the associated line section and store the tubes, fitting pieces and other parts in the bags. Subsequently, the material is register in the warehouse and when needed, just look for the labels associated with this section in the description.
IDENTIFY THE PARTS
The identification of the part where maintenance is to be carried out by the foreman or project manager makes it easy for the fitter to know which parts to change or store.
0. Create the label identifications.
1. Access the line you wish to perform the maintenance.
2. Stick the labels on the parts that need to be changed or stored.
*It facilitates the fitter work because he/she knows at a glance the parts in which to work.
IDENTIFY PARTS ALREADY INSTALLED WITH HISTORICAL RECORD
For future maintenance, having the parts identified allows you to reduce the number of actions to be performed because you know the parameters and the location of the part.
When performing maintenance on previously identified parts, their replacement is simplified because you already know the parameters of the part.
0. Scan the part.
1. Order with parameters.
2. Place the part in the indicated location (information on the label).
*It facilitates the future maintenances.
