Plain-English definition

What is preventive maintenance software?

Preventive maintenance is work performed at planned intervals to reduce the chance or impact of failure. Software helps by creating the right job when it is due and preserving the result on the machine history.

What preventive maintenance software should manage

A schedule needs more than a date. It should identify the machine, the work to perform, the checklist or readings, the usual owner and the rule that determines the next due date.

  • Calendar-based intervals such as weekly, monthly or annual
  • Completion-based intervals calculated from the last completed job
  • Weekday rules and recurrence limits
  • Multi-machine maintenance rounds
  • Missed, skipped and cancelled maintenance records
  • Leave cover without rewriting the underlying schedule

Calendar-based versus completion-based schedules

Calendar-based scheduling keeps fixed dates, such as the first Monday of each month. Completion-based scheduling sets the next date from when the previous service was actually completed.

Neither approach is always correct. The choice should match the maintenance requirement and remain obvious to the person setting up the plan.

Connect the plan to the completed job

The value of planned maintenance comes from the completed record: checks performed, problems found, readings captured, time spent and follow-up work created.

UPWRKS generates job cards from recurring schedules and keeps the result connected to the machine so the plan and the maintenance history tell the same story.
