Abstract
A computer based maintenance resource management system has an operations software component with access to historical operations requirements such that job plans for the current operations and safety requirements can be integrated with work orders, allowing operations personnel to review, approve or modify the requirements such that the job plan and work orders can be issued without lost time or productivity as maintenance and operations are fully coordinated.
Claims9
A computer based maintenance resource management system comprising:
- a user accessible computer terminal;
- a first software component for creating a job plan including standards;
- a second software component for creating a work order;
- an integration software component for automatically populating the work order with the job plan;
- a third software component for generating a protection request based on the work order for securing the removal of equipment from service and associating the protection request with the work order;
- an operation software component for displaying the protection request for approval by a user;
- and
- a user configurable third party interface for enabling third party interaction with the work order.
