Abstract
A method and system of providing instructions in addressing an equipment problem are provided. An indication of an equipment problem is checked against a solution database to identify at least one suggested solution to the equipment problem. A suggested solution from the at least one suggested solution is provided. An actual fix solution implemented in association with the equipment problem is recorded.
Claims21
1-20. (canceled)
A system for providing instructions in addressing an equipment problem experienced with equipment in use in a manufacturing system comprising:
- means for checking an indication of an equipment problem for the equipment against a solution database to identify at least one suggested solution to said equipment problem;
- means for providing a suggested solution from said at least one suggested solution for implementation;
- and
- means for recording an actual fix solution implemented in associated with said equipment problem.
The system of 22, wherein said materials database further includes an indication of availability of said materials, said system further comprising means for alerting said equipment engineer of said availability.
A system for providing instruction in addressing an equipment problem comprising:
- means for recording an actual fix solution implemented in association with said equipment problem;
- means for monitoring an efficiency rating of said actual fix solution in addressing said equipment problem, said efficiency rating relating to a duration that has passed since implementation of said actual fix solution;
- and
- means for making said actual fix solution available as a suggested solution to said equipment problem when an efficiency rating associated with said actual fix solution exceeds a minimum efficiency rating.
