When it comes to scheduled maintenance, there are many things that someone who doesn't work in the industry may not even think about. However, if you're a maintenance supervisor in a hotel, motel, school, hospital, or any place that provides a place where people stay for a length of time, you certainly know that there's more to it than having to unclog a toilet or make sure a remote has batteries.
With the right preventive maintenance software, you can not only keep up with everything that has to be done but it's a helpful tool for new employees. Your newbies won't have to assume what has to be done or ask a million questions because the work orders are generated for them with what has to be done and at what interval. So along with maintenance issues that come up, the preventative maintenance always gets done when it is supposed to be done and no one has to keep up with notes that can get lost or be that person who should have known and gets reprimanded for it being forgotten.
Examples of Scheduled Tasks
Here are just a few of the scheduled tasks that can be set up so they're never forgotten or not done on time.
- Checking or changing out the air filters.
- Changing batteries in remote controls.
- Changing batteries and checking fire alarms.
- Checking and changing out light bulbs when they need replacement.
- Checking the fill valves, toilet seats, the seal between the tank and bowl, the seal between the bowl and floor, flush lever, and bolts. This is typically done at least once a year.
