Maintenance management solution designed for SMEs
A Microsoft Windows based computerized maintenance management solution for small to mid-size users is useful for enterprise plant, facility and fleet maintenance and other periodic tasks.
Maintenance typically consumes a significant portion of most budgets.
Equipment failures can impose larger costs in terms of lost revenue, quality issues and customer dissatisfaction.
Unfortunately most maintenance departments lack the time and resources to put together a comprehensive preventive maintenance plan that can control and reduce unplanned maintenance.
Breaking the vicious cycle to reduce breakdowns and unplanned maintenance while increasing planned and preventive maintenance can be very hard.
FastMaint helps organizations take the 'baby steps' needed to get started.
"We are very pleased with FastMaint.
I am learning more about its versatility each day.
I have been able to see a downward trend in equipment break downs and spare parts usage," says David Cook, maintenance planner.
FastMaint is designed to be "fast" and easy to install and use so that users can become productive soon.
Both planned and preventive maintenance tasks can be scheduled, managed and tracked.
An integrated inventory system allows one to track inventory use and when to reorder parts.
Maintenance managers can plan ahead and budget work for the week, month, quarter, year or any defined period.
One can easily create work orders and collect feedback on jobs done.
The multi-user Professional edition provides a way for non-maintenance personnel to submit maintenance requests.
Users rights to view or change information can be restricted to protect maintenance data.
Many third party tools such as report writers, data extraction utilities, etc.
can also be integrated with the FastMaint database.
FastMaint can work with Microsoft's Access or SQL Server database.
The new release brings in work order improvements for unplanned work, improved reporting and several other enhancements.
