This window enables you to issue a new repair form or modify an existing one.
A repair form is the actual repair or work that has been approved by the maintenance supervisor or foreman. It indicates the repair date and describes the nature of the problem as well as the work group that is assigned to carry out the job. A repair form also includes, in a different section, the information that is filled in by the person who performed the work, the cause of the malfunction, and action taken, as well as the down and repair time.
You can issue a new repair form from the Maintenance module, launched from the Instrument Index module. This can be done by a repair supervisor with appropriate access rights. Note that the repair options are not available at this stage. Subsequently, this repair form can be opened from the Maintenance Activities Summary window where the Repair options can be filled out. A new repair form can also be created from the Work Request window when opening a work request from the Maintenance Activities Summary window. You can then open the newly created repair form from the Maintenance Activities Summary window.
