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.
