Modules

Plant & People

Plant & People runs on the plant’s own network and keeps working without an internet connection. It is a modular build. Separate modules and bundles will be available, and the modules pass information between them. They are Plant & People Core, Engineering WorkPack, the Engineering Communications System, Total Productive Maintenance, Maintenance Store, the Workforce Competency System and Analytical Tools. Analytical Tools comes later and is not needed to start. Tell us whether you would want separate modules, or the whole package.

Module

Core — Plant & People Core

The plant setup every other part of PaP uses: people, machines, shifts and backups.

Set up departments, production lines and machines
Give each person a login and only the access their job needs
Record shifts, teams and site notices
Keep a record of changes, and back the system up

Module

EWP — Engineering WorkPack

The information needed to do the job on a machine: the part, the method and the isolation.

A short list of the parts used most often on that machine: where each one is, a photo, and a link to the stock record. This is not the stores catalogue
For a known service, see which parts to take, how long it should take, which tools you need, and the paperwork that goes with it
Open the written method for the job, the job pack you take to the machine, or the plan for a larger project
Site maps, isolation, drainage, fire alarm points and digital manuals

Module

ECS — Engineering Communications System

Live work: what is open, who has it, and what still needs doing.

See open jobs for the line, or only the jobs assigned to you
Raise a job, sign it off, and look back at finished work
Hand a job over, flag it for attention, and record contractor or facilities work
Holiday, sick and training are kept on separate records
See who is in tomorrow with one click
Keep the lock-out / tag-out log

Module

TPM — Total Productive Maintenance

Planned maintenance: what is due, what is late, and what has been signed off.

Build a planned-maintenance routine for a machine or a machine type
See what is due today, what is overdue, and what is still open
Assign the work and complete it on a tablet at the machine
Set when a late job turns from a warning into urgent

Module

MS — Maintenance Store

Spare parts and consumables: where the box is, the quantity from its weight, and the parts a job needs before that job is issued.

Look up a part and where its box is. The quantity is worked out from the weight of the box. The box holds one part type only — parts are not counted by hand
Set a low level once for each part. Open the warning page to see what needs reordering. Stock levels are not checked one by one
The storeman sees which parts a job needs before the engineer is told that job is scheduled. Maintenance Store reads that from the job packs, SOPs and planned-maintenance routines, when those list the parts each job needs
Request a part for a breakdown, or ask stores to replenish it
Book the box out and back in at the stores counter

Module

WCS — Workforce Competency System

Who can do the work, and who is still being trained.

Keep a record of each person and the skills they hold
Set up links to all certificates, so they open when needed instead of being searched for
Set development goals and name a buddy or mentor
Plan probation and the first weeks for a new starter
See training that is waiting to be accepted or still to be finished

Later

AT — Analytical Tools

Details will be added later.

Comes later. Not needed to start using Plant & People.

Ask for what you need

Request a function your plant needs, or ask for access to the demo when it is released. Also tell us whether you would want separate modules, or the whole package.
