Processes we configure

Asset management

Build and maintain the asset register and location hierarchy, with classifications, specifications, meters, failure codes, and asset history. A clean hierarchy is the foundation for cost roll-ups, reliability analysis, and reporting.

Work order management

Manage the full work order lifecycle: planning, job plans, scheduling, assignment, execution, actuals, and closure. Preventive maintenance schedules generate work orders by time or meter, and routes group work across assets.

Service requests

Capture requests from occupants, operators, or a help desk, classify them, apply service level agreements, and convert them into work orders or incidents. Self-service entry reduces calls and gives requesters status visibility.

Purchasing

Run purchase requisitions, requests for quotation, purchase orders, receipts, and invoices in Maximo, or pass approved demand to an ERP system. Approval limits and workflows keep spending under control.

Inventory and storerooms

Track items, storerooms, balances, reservations, issues, returns, and reorder points. Linking materials to work orders shows the true cost of maintenance and prevents delays caused by missing spares.

Contracts

Manage purchase, lease, rental, labor rate, warranty, and master contracts, with terms, renewal dates, and links to the assets and vendors they cover. Warranty tracking helps avoid paying for work that is still covered.

Questions and answers

Asset and work management: common questions

What is a work order in Maximo?

A work order is the record that authorizes and tracks a piece of work on an asset or location. It holds the plan (tasks, labor, materials, tools), the schedule, the actual costs and hours, and the failure information recorded at completion.

What is the difference between a service request and a work order?

A service request records that someone has asked for help or reported a problem. A work order records the work done in response. One service request can lead to one or more work orders, or be resolved without any.

Should purchasing be done in Maximo or in the ERP?

Both models work. Many organizations raise requisitions in Maximo against work orders and storerooms, then integrate with the ERP for purchase orders and invoicing. The right split depends on your finance policies.
