The maintenance module is an important instrument for bettering your company's product and machinery management. The maintenance module can assist you in improving the health and productivity of your machines.

Maintaining the machinery's health can aid in the planning and operation of the machines for maximum output. The module is simple to set up and utilize with your business and machinery. The manufacturing business is a large one that requires the use of several machines.

The importance of machinery maintenance in the organization cannot be overstated. Maintenance ensures the equipment' appropriate 'health' and extends their life cycle. You can ensure uninterrupted work at your work centers rather of wasting time on unwelcome mechanical problems and machine failure. The Odoo 15 Maintenance module is the finest option for handling any maintenance concerns.

This blog will show you how to use the Odoo 15 maintenance module to request and handle maintenance requests.

The Odoo 15 Maintenance Module has a dashboard that displays information about internal maintenance tasks. It includes a simple maintenance calendar as well as Kanban views of the activities. It allows you to drag and drop items. The best support for the successful operation of the instruments comes from timely maintenance work. It also allows the various wings to process maintenance requests more quickly.

Maintenance teams will populate the dashboard. The instance requests will be listed under the maintenance teams. These are actually categories that you can create for receiving inquiries based on the nature of your machinery or business. If you click on any of the Teams, you'll be sent to the requests listed below.

This format makes it simple to organize maintenance requests.

Request teams and maintenance teams

Maintenance teams are simple to set up. To create a Maintenance team, navigate to the Maintenance module's dashboard's Configuration tab and select Maintenance Teams from the drop-down menu. The Maintenance Teams page will appear as seen below.

For routine maintenance processes or operations, preventive maintenance is used. The preventative Maintenance type allows you to arrange maintenance actions ahead of time, assuring optimal equipment use and avoiding unforeseen damage. This technology can be used to manage any instrument, from computers to complicated manufacturing machinery.

Even with routine maintenance, it's typical for machinery to have problems and faults. Corrective maintenance plays a role in these machinery concerns since they require prompt treatment. The issue will be submitted to the maintenance staff, who will begin working on it right away. Choose from the maintenance types, and if you wish to apply a manufacturing order to the Maintenance request, click the Field next to 'Manufacturing order,' and pick the manufacturing order from the drop-down list.

If you wish to add any comments or instructions, do so in the Internal notes section of the settings tab. After you've finished configuring the requests, click the SAVE button, and they'll be added to the New Request stage, as shown below.
