The "Maintenance processing" in SAP covers all IT operations that support the different steps in the execution of Maintenance Works, from the initial request to the final completion of the works.
It is in line with the Solvay Work Order Management procedures (SolWoM) defined by Manufacturing Excellence.
The Maintenance Processing is based on 2 different documents in SAP:
2.1 Notification
It is used
- to inform the Maintenance department about a technical problem with an object (Functional location / Equipment) and request to perform necessary actions.
- to describe the technical problem and document work that has been performed
2.2 Work Order
- It is used to plan and organize in detail the execution of maintenance tasks, trace the progress of the work performed, and to collect the costs for the maintenance tasks.
During the execution of the work, several operations are performed in SAP:
- Scheduling of works with GWOS (Graphical work Order Scheduling)
- Inform Progress of works
- Enter Time Confirmations for internal employees
- Enter Service confirmations of subcontractors by issuing reception of Technical services via Good receipts or Service entry sheets, including DCCS tools : this is an Extranet Portal has been developed for the Suppliers to declare their activities, along with a special specific transaction developed for the Maintenance Technicians to approve and control the supplier's declaration. This tool has been developed and deployed in several Solvay sites. Here is an overview of this tool Digital Cost Control of Services (called "GTBU" in France)" as well as the User Guide in English & French.
Note: The Maintenance processing also covers organization of Inspection, with the "Basic Inspection"(BI) process. The details of BI can be access here.
