Recording actual work to understand maintenance costs

An intervention closed without hours and materials leaves the cost reading incomplete. The final balance links the work carried out to the resources actually used and allows more useful comparisons between machines and periods.

Intervention finalization

  1. Open the order or the delivery note to be finalised.
  2. Record actual hours and resources involved.
  3. Enter materials, means and notes required by the process.
  4. Check quantities, times and link to the order before confirming.

Maintenance costs

  1. Identify the cost components expected from the configuration.
  2. Check the actual hours and related values.
  3. Check recorded materials, means and additional costs.
  4. Compare estimate and final balance if both available.

Putting this into practice

At the end of a replacement, record times and spares on the correct job. Also describe the outcome: the amount alone does not explain why it was incurred.
