Problem Statement

KJCF Has three manufacturing facilities in Malaysia. Each used paper work orders to manage its assets, which are easy to lose. There was a pressing need to report breakdowns instantly and have reliable consolidated reports for all maintenance Activities.

Reactive maintenance was 3 to 9 times costlier than the planned and organized preventive maintenance. Not just that! The ineffective approach robbed much of the valuable production time! With the business growth, the company realized that reactive maintenance could not be the operating style as there were more schedules, assets, and spares to track. The full potential of available resources for maintenance was untapped. The firm decided to manage the assets in different plants by infusing a culture of preventive maintenance automation.

Assets and technicians could be easily swapped and moved across the facilities to make the maintenance process simple, smooth, secure, and efficient.

Whenever any staff in the manufacturing unit notices a defect in any equipment, they can easily submit a service request by simply scanning the QR code pasted on the asset. Instant registration of complaints ensured on-time resolution of defects so that the damage due to equipment malfunction was minimal and assets contributed to production to their fullest potential.

All digital work orders were easily traceable via mobile. Maintenance managers can easily trace any work order based on date range, technician, asset, etc., by drilling down reports via the web application.
