Improving Maintenance Planning with the Help of Information Technologies

In this paper, the processing of preventive maintenance work orders with the MP2 Professional information system is presented and a cost analysis is performed. In addition, the purchasing of spare parts and material in this system is described. It was found that the implementation of the information system can improve maintenance planning for planned preventive maintenance tasks (Tasks and Instructions module in the information system), which are organized and performed on a planned basis with prepared documentation, as well as for corrective maintenance tasks (Requests module - Call-in requests and On-site requests), which are performed after a failure. The purchasing process has also been improved with the help of the information system, as certain documents can be generated or automatically created from previous documents. In addition to the ability to generate certain documents (e.g. preventive maintenance work orders, quotation requests, requisitions, purchase orders), it is possible to obtain various reports and graphical representations useful for both maintenance technicians and management.
