With MainPlan you get the efficiencies you want.

The description below contains many screen images of MainPlan, to see an enlarged view of any screen image, simply click on it.

There are two versions of MainPlan available:

bulletMainPlan Gold+
bulletMainPlan Standard

MainPlan Gold+ provides all the features generally required in a standalone CMMS and is suitable for all  organizations.  It provides automated scheduling of  Preventative Maintenance Routines by both fixed calendar intervals and plant condition.  The PM Routine maintenance scheduling module provide every conceivable scheduling option.  Gold+ includes an asset register, labour register, suppliers register, work procedures and safety procedures registers and full access to all maintenance history. Fixed and user defined reports are available.  A full stores, purchasing, inventory control module is included, together with electric motor register, drawing register and rotables register.  Faults and remedies registers have been provided.

Tight integration between stores and maintenance is provided with Bill of Materials and Work Order Spares kits.  MainPlan Gold+ will benefit many industries which until now have had to spend many tens of thousands of dollars purchasing cumbersome systems to obtain the advanced purchasing and stock control systems offered by this system.

MainPlan Gold+ Features

bulletPlant/Asset hierarchy is six levels deep.
bulletHierarchy realignment occurs automatically. Individual Plant Names and Codes can be changed anytime and the system automatically cascades the changes through PM Routines, Backlog, History, Spares etc
bulletDocuments can be attached to Assets, PM Routines and Backlog entries (Work Orders).  Documents attached to Work Orders may be automatically printed after the Work Order is printed.  This feature is invaluable for printing Hot Work Permits, JSA’s and the like and may also be used for printing the latest copies of previous readings that have been taken.
bulletWork Orders and PM Routines may have multiple Assets attached to them, so it is possible to generate a work order for a specific asset type and have the Work Order cover all other assets of the same type.
bulletSCADA links are now available. MainPlan can interact with SCADA systems and trigger Work Orders based on real-time plant conditions such as run time, number of operations, filter DP etc..
bulletThe system calculates the average cost of spares based on the quantities purchased and the price paid and uses this value to calculate the real cost of maintenance.
bulletMainPlan provides full multi-site compatibility when running on Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server edition or Citrix.

MainPlan Standard is aimed at the first time CMMS user. It provides all the CMMS functionality generally required by an organization implementing its first system including automated scheduling of PM Routine preventative maintenance by both fixed calendar intervals and plant condition, asset register, labour register, suppliers register, work procedures and safety procedures registers and full access to all maintenance history. Fixed and user defined reports are available and a basic spare parts management system is included.

MainPlan has a large number of features that assist in maintenance management.  The majority of features are common to both versions and outlined below are the major features of MainPlan that are provided in both MainPlan Standard and MainPlan Gold+.  Some of the unique MainPlan Gold+ features are detailed at the bottom of this page (please click here)

Plant or Asset Register

Click for enlarged view, use browser back button to return.The Plant/Asset  register contains details of all maintained items. Identification of assets is carried out via a three tier structured hierarchy, by assigning three description fields and three code fields for unique identification.

A free-form text field is available for each entry for storing details such as make, model, serial number, supplier and date of service. On-screen title headings for most fields are user-definable.  

Click for enlarged view, use browser back button to return.MainPlan Gold+ vastly extends the Plant/Asset register to track cost centre, make, model, model number, serial number, OEM information,  date purchased, original cost, depreciation rate and method, written down value plus direct access to asset meter readings.  The plant hierarchy is extended from a three to a six tier hierarchy.

The Plant/Asset register has other tables attached to it:

bullet

Spares used by the asset (bill of materials)

bullet

Rotables attached to the asset

bullet

Drawings relating to the asset

bullet

Electric motors attached to the asset

bullet

The current and previous locations of the asset

The Plant/Asset register is linked by hot buttons to other files within the system, such as:

bulletPM ROUTINES that pertain to the asset
bulletBACKLOG of work on the asset
bulletHISTORY of work done on the asset
bulletSPARES used by the asset
 

How MainPlan Controls Planned Maintenance

Preventative Maintenance tasks (PM Routines) are automatically generated one week prior to the required week and automatically loaded into the Backlog file.  PM Routines can be automatically scheduled for any week or meter readings with user-definable units of measure (eg hours, kilometres, cycles, KPa, or PSI) can be used to generate PM Routines automatically based on meter setpoints.

MainPlan Standard allows calendar based scheduling by fixed week or a calendar date and fixed interval in days, months or years.  Meter based scheduling uses a fixed threshold.

MainPlan Gold+ adds many options to maintenance scheduling:

bulletschedule by fixed week
bulletschedule by incremental week
bulletschedule by fixed date
bulletschedule by fixed date, reschedule from last done date
bulletschedule by incremental date
bulletschedule by incremental date, reschedule from last done date
bulletschedule by threshold meter
bulletschedule by incremental meter
bulletschedule by week or threshold meter
bulletschedule by week or incremental meter

Breakdowns, Modifications and Capital Projects

Breakdowns, Modifications and Capital Projects are directly loaded into the Backlog file using either MainPlan Backlog entry or the operator front-end JobRequest.  Backlog entries automatically produce Work Orders and include details such as start date, week, initiator, estimated times, trades, priority and detailed work and safety procedures.

Work and Safety Procedures

Procedures (written instructions) are stored in the Safety or Work Procedures file, and are linked to Work Orders. Text can be edited or created by cutting and pasting text from record to records just like a word processor, or by importing from other sources.

Control and Analysis

All outstanding Work Orders remain in Backlog until marked as complete. The relevant Work Order is then removed from Backlog and loaded into the History file.

The user may display a graph of PM Routine work hours and interrogate subtotals or individual trades totals.  Redistribution of working hours per week to maintain a balance is thus easily achieved.

Spare Parts Inventory Control

MainPlan Standard provides a spare parts register that can be used to keep track of stock balances.  Each spare part can be attached to an asset.

Click for enlarged view, use browser back button to return.MainPlan Gold provides full stores and ordering capabilities. Additional features include on-screen cross-referencing of all spares to all asset items and rotables that use the spare and all suppliers of the spare. Spare kits may be assigned to Work Orders.  Full stock control is provided with purchase order issue,  stock receival, stock issue, return to store and stock take (random and complete).

Labour

Labour resources are user definable for either general or individual trade codes and labour rates may be assigned for accurate cost analysis.

History

All completed work orders are stored in a history file.  Labour costs are easily obtained by calculations carried out between history records and the labour charge rate codes.  Extraction of costs is set by the user to desired requirements, whether individual plant items, sections of the plant or the plant as a whole, over any time period specified.  MainPlan Standard allows the cost of spares and materials to be entered when work orders are closed out.  MainPlan Gold+ calculates cost of spares and materials automatically when work orders are closed out.

Reports

Click for enlarged view, use browser back button to return.Reports are both pre-defined and user-definable. A set of pre-defined reports is supplied for general use. A powerful graphical report writing and editing facility is included. Recognition for the need to customise reports to contain relevant data laid out in a format that is easily comprehended at all levels, is one of MainPlan's unique features. MainPlan support will write custom reports for a small charge.

Export

Data from MainPlan can easily be exported to Microsoft Excel using the inbuilt export facilities.

MainPlan Gold+ provides several additional unique features in addition to those mentioned above:

bulletA five level Location Register which allows a location to be attached to each asset item.  The levels are user-definable (nominally Site, Building, Department, Floor, Room).  The ability to track an asset location is particularly useful in many applications, particularly facilities management.
bulletA Faults Register to allow standard fault descriptions to be used.
bulletA Remedies Register to allow standard repair descriptions to be used.

JobRequest

The JobRequest system is a simple front end to enable users to enter job requests into MainPlan without actually running the full MainPlan system. There is no user limit on JobRequest, and it is available for MainPlan Standard and Mainplan Gold+.
