Manufacturing

Factory: cutting unplanned downtime with structured maintenance

Illustrative scenario based on common workflows for this kind of organisation — not a specific named customer. Outcomes describe what teams typically aim for with workro desk.

The situation

  • Maintenance was reactive — machines were fixed only after they failed, stalling production.
  • Spare parts were tracked informally, so repairs waited on stock that had quietly run out.
  • No one could say which machines were costing the most in repairs and downtime.

How workro desk is used

  • Machines are registered as assets; faults become tickets that capture repair time and parts used.
  • Spare parts live in the stores module with reorder points, tied to the tickets that consume them.
  • Asset health scores, MTBF and MTTR surface the machines that fail most often.

What changes

  • A clear view of which machines to service, repair or retire — backed by real data.
  • Fewer repairs stalled waiting on out-of-stock spares.
  • Maintenance shifts from firefighting toward planned, preventive work.
