A typical manufacturing organisation may have more than a few thousand pieces of
equipment. In Reckoner Plant and Maintenance, all the machines/ equipment for maintenance
in the system can be managed.
Various maintenance activities can be defined that need to be performed for a machine,
e.g. oiling, greasing, overhauling, breakdown etc. Reckoner Plant and Maintenance
also allows definition for cost & frequency of each activity for preventive
maintenance. Each activity can then be booked in discrete maintenance orders and
confirmed thereafter.
Reckoner supports all types of maintenance methods like Preventive, Predictive and
Emergency Maintenance using definable order types and process settings for different
machines. Reckoner allows the user to define Bill of Materials or material requirement
for each maintenance activity.
If possible, the complete BOM structure for any machine may be defined, which will
help in identifying the spare part requirements for the machines. Since frequency
of each activity is defined this BOM will be used by MRP for planning of spare parts.

All types of resources used in maintenance like mechanics, tools, measuring instruments,
cranes, jack etc. can be defined. There are 4 types of possible resources - Man,
Material, Machines and others.
Reckoner keeps track of resource requirement for a management activity based on
historic data.
The Logbook entries and the frequency for maintenance activities defined in the
definition, can be used to create the schedule for Preventive Maintenance. Periodic
Inspection of the machines forms the basis of Predictive Maintenance whereas Emergency
Maintenance is done on the basis of manual generation of Maintenance Orders.
Reckoner provides for effective tools for ascertaining machine health for predictive
maintenance. These are definable inspection documents, which allow recording of
different test results on machines such as vibration, temperature, pressure etc.
Inspection documents in Reckoner may also integrate with devices or third party
tools like DCS, metering devices etc.

Whether maintenance planning is carried out on automatic or manual basis, Reckoner
Plant and Maintenance works on the basis of individual Maintenance Order for each
machine/ activity. All the Maintenance Orders (manually entered or system created)
can then be summarised into the Maintenance Planning Wizard which can then help
in the creation of an effective maintenance schedule.
Reckoner provides integration with Microsoft Project/ Primavera for fine-tuning
of the maintenance schedule. Based on the Maintenance Plan MRP (Material Requirement Plan) can generate requirement of material automatically and can convert this into
planned indents. Based on reorder level for other maintenance parts MRP can also
generate indents for the same. The FSN & VED analysis can also be carried out
for spare parts for better planning. Post maintenance order history also helps in
ascertaining the consumption patterns of spares. The “whereused list” and maintenance
history may also suggest availability of spares in existing machines.
Maintenance Order can automatically generate a requisition for spares or other material
based on maintenance type. Material can be issued and costs booked for the order/machine.
