motivation for crafts to complete

(OP)
my biggest issue has been the current culture of not having time to complete work orders. how have people here been able to overcome this?

RE: motivation for crafts to complete

What do you mean by not completing work orders?  Does this mean the work is not complete and craft is pulled off to do another job?  Or does it mean the craft is not completing the paper work end?
The answer varies greatly depending on what you are actually asking for.

RE: motivation for crafts to complete

If the CMMS and computers are seen as tools only for the "upper clouds" in the company, don't expect the workforce "grunts" to cooperate with paperwork thumbsup

RE: motivation for crafts to complete

It helps if the crafts know that information entered when closing work orders will be used.  A perception that the information is never reviewed will not encourage data entry.

If your CMMS is not set up correctly it can be difficult to locate the correct Equipment, fault codes, parts, etc.

Concise data entry reduces the burden when entering and reviewing data. Training your staff to be concise saves typing and time.

It should be reiterated to staff that building an accurate and complete history is vital to keeping equipment running and reducing costs.

A Daily activity report makes it easy to review work that happened in the previous 24 hours. Your CMMS should be able to produce this report or you can use Crystal Reports.

I am a MP2 consultant, many of my clients use a Daily Activity report to review data soon after input. This allows clarification and corrections to happen when details are still fresh and increases confidence in the data.
