How are you entering repetitive Work Orders into Methos?

Are you manually creating a Work Order each time they occur? If so, you may want to think about setting up and using the Methos Standard Jobs Module. Standard Jobs are similar to Preventative Maintenance Tasks, except that they do not have a due date. Standard Jobs are used for tasks that occur repeatedly, but you don't know exactly when they will happen. These could include things such as a belt replacement or tasks that occur during a plant shutdown. You can set up Work Order templates within Standard Jobs, then source them to actual Work Orders when needed. The benefit of this is that the job checklist or procedures can be outlined in the notebook text, and a bill of material can be set up so you know the correct procedures and parts are being used.

Please contact Rippe & Kingston at 513.977. 4564 to discuss how this might work for you.
