What are PPMs
Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) tasks are recurring maintenance jobs designed to ensure the smooth operation of your facilities. PPMs are especially valuable for compliance and reporting purposes, enabling teams to efficiently manage and execute routine maintenance tasks.
How to create PPMs
To create a PPM in FaultFixers Web, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to the left-hand side menu in FaultFixers Web.
2. Click on the blue "New" button as seen in the image below to initiate the PPM creation process.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to assign the PPM to a specific building, location, and user.
4. Set the Schedule: In the final step, specify the frequency at which the task should occur (e.g., weekly). For more detailed information on how to create PPMs, have a look at this article.
PPMs can be:
Duplicated: clone a PPM to quickly assign it to the same, or another Building by using the "Duplicate" button. For more information on how to clone PPMs, go to this article.
Edited: reassign it to someone else, modify the due date, or change the priority by clicking on the "Edit" button.
Deleted: if needed, PPMs can be deleted by using the "Delete" button that appears in the image above.
How to navigate PPMs
Inside the PPM, you can view essential details such as the next due date, the building where the task takes place, the frequency, and the number of times it has been completed (found under "Occurrences" at the bottom).
