If you run a maintenance department then you know how important it is to be up and running at all times, as often as possible. And while it may not be the same as the PlayStation Network, downtime causes problems for everyone.
You can't always plan for mishaps or breakdowns that cause downtime but you can definitely plan ahead with preventative maintenance and get ahead of the “game” when it comes to tasks that have to be done.
Everyone knows that preventative maintenance helps keeps things running more smoothly. Without being proactive, you open your facility up to instances of equipment failure, accidents, customer dissatisfaction, and of course, downtime at your business. There are a few ways that you can plan ahead and be sure that you are taking action to help minimize time that is not productive and one way is with Work Order Software.
How it Works
How it works is that everything can be planned ahead. For instance, you have maintenance work that is done on a daily basis such as checking the pool chemicals or those on a monthly basis such as checking your heating and air conditioning filters in rooms. Even if you have a packaging plant instead of a facility that caters to guests, you have equipment that has to be maintained on a regular basis. With the CMM (Computerized Maintenance Management) software, you are able to schedule the preventative maintenance well in advance so that it is always taken care of. You can even decide which employee is given the task and add crucial information such as when it is to be done, what time, and how often. It also allows the employee to add information after the task is completed such as who did it, what time, where, and any notes that are needed for additional data.

No downtime
With Work Order Sofware software, you won't have to disappoint your guests or boss by having unnecessary downtime because everything, barring any accidents that you cannot control, is scheduled in advance and taken care of long before it becomes an issue. And while the PlayStation Network (PSN) is performing regularly scheduled maintenance just as you do at your facility, you may just be able to shorten the downtime because you won't have to take time to decide who is doing the task or when it needs to be done. Since you do that long before it's time, you have more time to take care of other things that need your attention.
