Create New Work Order

What is a Work Order?

A Work Order is a formal request or instruction to perform maintenance, repairs, or other tasks on an asset or facility. It includes details such as the type of work to be performed, the asset involved, the severity level, assigned personnel, and Completion Time. Work Orders are essential for:

  • Tracking maintenance tasks and repairs.
  • Ensuring timely completion of work.
  • Improving asset performance and reducing downtime.
  • Maintaining a record of maintenance history.
