Breakdown Maintenance should be used when equipment is not critical to operations, or when the cost of downtime is lower than the cost of preventive maintenance.

Disadvantages include unexpected downtime, higher repair costs, potential safety risks, and possible damage to other equipment.

Breakdown Maintenance can lead to unexpected downtime, disruptions in production, and potential delays in fulfilling customer orders.

Effective management involves tracking equipment failure patterns, maintaining an adequate inventory of spare parts, and having skilled technicians on standby.

MaintWiz CMMS helps manage Breakdown Maintenance by automating work order creation, tracking repair histories, and providing real-time alerts.

MaintWiz CMMS improves response times by automatically notifying technicians, providing detailed failure reports, and enabling remote access to maintenance data.

Navigate to the 'Work Order' module, select 'Create New Work Order,' and input the necessary details such as equipment, problem description, and priority.

Utilize MaintWiz CMMS's Root Cause Analysis functionality and reporting & analytics tools to identify patterns and trends in breakdowns. One can also define the Corrective Actions and Preventive Actions too.

MTTR is the average time taken to repair equipment after a breakdown, and it is a key performance indicator in Breakdown Maintenance.

MTTR can be reduced by maintaining an inventory of spare parts, providing adequate training to technicians, and using a CMMS like MaintWiz to streamline repair processes.

MTBF is the average time between consecutive failures of equipment, and it indicates the reliability of the equipment.

MaintWiz CMMS tracks MTBF and MTTR by recording failure and repair data, generating reports, and analyzing trends to improve maintenance practices.

Common causes include wear and tear, lack of maintenance, operator error, and environmental factors.

MaintWiz CMMS can help prevent frequent breakdowns by providing predictive maintenance insights, scheduling regular inspections, and monitoring equipment conditions.

A Work Order is a document that authorizes maintenance activities to be performed on equipment after a breakdown.

MaintWiz CMMS improves safety by providing detailed repair procedures, ensuring compliance with safety standards, and tracking incident reports.

Spare Parts Management is crucial in Breakdown Maintenance to ensure that necessary parts are available when equipment fails, reducing downtime.

MaintWiz CMMS helps with Spare Parts Management by tracking inventory levels, generating reorder alerts, and optimizing parts usage.

Key KPIs include MTTR, MTBF, breakdown frequency, downtime, and maintenance cost.

MaintWiz CMMS tracks KPIs by collecting data on maintenance activities, generating performance reports, and providing actionable insights to improve maintenance practices.

Organizations can transition by using MaintWiz CMMS to analyze failure data, identify critical equipment, develop preventive maintenance plans, and train personnel.

MaintWiz facilitates communication through automated notifications and updates, ensuring that all relevant personnel are informed about the status of breakdown maintenance tasks.

Consider repair costs, downtime, labour, and any additional operational impacts. MaintWiz tracks labour costs, spare parts cost and services cost at workorder level detail.
