Keep every asset running.
Plan-to-Maintain is the flow that carries an asset from the day it is commissioned to the day it is retired — through preventive schedules, breakdowns, work orders, spare-part draws and quality sign-off. It touches maintenance, stores, quality and finance, and on most ERPs each of them keeps its own version of the truth. Compreo runs it as one flow, so a maintenance plan that fires a work order also reserves the spare, books the cost to the asset and writes the reliability history without anyone re-keying a thing.
From asset master to reliability history.
Every maintainable asset moves through the same eight stages, whether it is a process-plant compressor, a CNC machine or a club chiller. The flow is continuous: the closeout of one work order becomes a data point in the reliability record that reshapes the next plan.
Asset Master
Register every asset with its location, criticality, warranty and BOM of serviceable parts.
Maintenance Plan
Preventive and predictive schedules driven by calendar, meter reading or condition.
Work Order
A dated job with tasks, trades, permits and the parts it will consume.
Spares (from MM)
Required parts reserved against the work order straight from stores, not chased after.
Execution
Technicians record labour, readings, observations and actual parts issued.
QC / Closeout
Quality checks the work, signs off the asset and returns it to service.
History
Every job, part and downtime hour lands on the asset's permanent record.
Reliability / MTBF
Failure patterns, MTBF and cost-per-asset feed the next plan revision.
Where maintenance usually breaks down.
Maintenance rarely fails for want of effort. It fails because the plan, the storeroom and the asset record never see the same picture at the same time.
Breakdowns outrun the plan.
Preventive schedules live in a spreadsheet, breakdowns arrive by phone, and the team spends its day reacting. Without a single queue, the preventive work that would have stopped the failure keeps slipping behind the next emergency.
Spares are never reserved.
A work order is raised, the technician walks to stores, and the part is gone — already issued to another job. Nothing reserved the spare when the job was planned, so the asset waits on a fresh PR while it sits idle.
Downtime is invisible.
Nobody can say how many hours a line was down last quarter, or what it cost. Downtime is felt on the shop floor but never recorded against the asset, so it never reaches the people deciding budgets.
No reliability history.
Each repair is treated as a fresh event. With no record of past failures, MTBF or repair cost per asset, there is no way to tell a chronic bad actor from bad luck — or to justify replacing it.
One flow, from plan to proof.
Compreo binds the eight stages into a single chain of record. The plan creates the work, the work reserves the part, the part draws on real stock, and the closeout writes history that sharpens the next plan.
One queue for planned and unplanned.
Preventive, predictive and breakdown work orders share one backlog, prioritised by asset criticality — so the urgent job and the scheduled service compete on the same screen, not in two systems.
Spares reserved at planning, drawn at execution.
When a work order is raised, its parts are reserved against stores from the asset BOM. A shortfall raises a PR before the technician arrives, not after — and the actual issue is booked as a 3-way check against the order at closeout.
Downtime captured by default.
Execution records start, stop and reason for every job, so downtime hours and cost accrue to the asset automatically — no separate log, no reconstruction at quarter-end.
History that compounds.
Every closed work order writes labour, parts, readings and downtime to the asset record. Compreo rolls these into MTBF, mean-time-to-repair and lifetime cost, and feeds them back so the plan tightens where assets fail and relaxes where they do not.
Cost lands where it belongs.
Parts, labour and contractor charges post against the asset in finance, so maintenance cost per asset is a number you can stand behind at review, not an estimate.
Shaped to the assets you run.
The flow is the same; the asset, the trigger and the closeout are not. Compreo configures each without a rewrite.
Assets are continuous and critical, so plans run on condition and meter readings, and a closeout often gates on a QC quality check before the asset is returned to service. Shutdown windows are planned as bundled work orders against a calendar.
Machine tools and lines are maintained on run-hours and cycle counts pulled from the floor. Spares draw on a serviceable BOM, and a failed part can trigger a PR to stores without leaving the work order.
Chillers, lifts, kitchens and pools run on calendar and statutory inspection schedules. Work orders route to in-house trades or contractors, and cost rolls up by location for the facility budget.
The modules behind the flow.
Plan-to-Maintain is not a single application. It is four modules collaborating under one process — the asset and its work orders in maintenance, the spares in stores, the quality gate at closeout, and the cost on the books.
What changes when maintenance is one flow.
Common questions.
Yes. When a work order is raised from a plan, its parts are reserved against stores from the asset BOM. If stock falls short, Compreo raises a PR at planning time, so the part is on its way before the job starts rather than after it stalls.
Every closed work order writes its labour, parts, readings and downtime to the asset record. Compreo rolls those into MTBF, mean-time-to-repair and lifetime cost — no separate analytics step and no re-keying.
Yes. Planned, predictive and breakdown work orders share one backlog ordered by asset criticality, so nothing urgent hides in a second system and nothing scheduled is forgotten.
Parts, labour and contractor charges post against the asset in Fixed Assets as work orders close, so cost per asset is a live figure at review rather than an estimate assembled by hand.
