F.3.5 Cancel Work Order
Many reasons can result the need to cancel a a lot WO already generated by MEMO or create in advance manually :
- EQ back to stock and the status in MEMO wasn't update (or OUT) : the maintenance plan is still active.
- Too many WO were planned the same week compared to the work load of the person in charge
- Technician unavailable (holidays, sick...) without be replace
- EQ under repair during a long period, and the preventive maintenance plan is still active
- The maintenance was done long time ago, but MEMO wasn't updated.
It is important to manage the open WO to give the visibility to the technician about the work need to be done.
It should only have an open preventive WO for one equipment.
A pre establish filter from the ap EQUIPMENT help to identify quickly the EQ who have 2 work orders or more open.
For the 1st scenario, (equipment under stock, OUT), you just need to change the status of the EQ : automatically the preventive maintenance plan will be inactivate and all WO would be cancelled.
For the other cases :
- Open the application ALL WO in the module MAINTENANCE
- Filter to have only the WO you want to cancel (example : status 20-APPR, progress state LATE, type of maintenance "mensuel" (monthly))
- Select all WO by using the tick (check mark) on the top of the column (the selection is only for WO visible in the active page)
- Click on the bottom "change status"
- Click on the target bottom "40-ANNU"
Tips : if the cancellation are link with a bad schedule, follow the practical sheet of verification the schedule, and the practical sheet about re schedule the maintenance plan.
Tips : the WO are generated one week before the schedule date. If you don't have realize the maintenance, the next WO would be maybe generated in few days or already generated. So you can cancel :
- WO that has a bi monthly frequency after 1 week late
- WO that has a monthly frequency after 2 weeks late
- WO that has a quarterly frequency after 2 months late
- WO that has a bi annual frequency after 4 months late
- WO monthly when the quarterly/bi annual maintenance scheduled the last month isn't yet done
