Overview

The capital invested in an organisation’s assets requires that the maximum benefit be obtained throughout the asset life cycle – an asset out of use is a direct cost to the bottom line. Assets must therefore be managed in order to minimise down time and obtain the most of the assets for maximum usage.

Environmental issues being placed back on companies, requires environmental concerns to be considered as part of asset maintenance. Some countries are implementing legislation for “End of Life” vehicles, this requirement can be managed in the Command View solution.

The Command View TLS platform provides One Commanding View of vital operational planning and resource management requirements over the total life of the asset, regardless of geographical location. Developed using the latest software technologies, Command View is optimised for low bandwidth deployments often found in remote regions or mobile platforms including vessels at sea.

The Command View System compromises of  two powerful tools:

• Command View Web Console – used to manage assets, work books, tasking and parts, and
• Command Link – a web portal for maintenance teams to assess the system for work orders, training, technical information and scheduling.

Command View Web Console

From a single console, manage asset data, build maintenance plans and assign resources based on utilization, location and skill grades. Supply chain management and automated parts forecasting ensures the right person, and the right parts, every time.

Command Link

Tightly integrated as part of the command view system, Command Link is optimized for low bandwidth deployments. Maintainers can accept, complete and sign jobs card that are delivered to their laptop, tablet PC or workstations.
Command View can be configured to access S1000D repositories (R4i CSDB) for automatic linking to S1000D Data Modules, automatically creating work orders and technical references. To further increase safety, SCORM competency based training packages can also be linked to task cards.

Advantages

The advantages of using the Command View system:

• Releases front-line foremen from major planning duties and allows them more time to supervise their crews
• Reduces delays in waiting for personnel, material and tools after a job is in progress
• Provides for systematic collection of materials prior to assignment of jobs
• Provides procedures to implement and continue a planned maintenance program
• Provides access to training system to review planned maintenance steps
• Provides procedures to plan, execute, monitor and control maintenance resources
• Provides a communication link between maintenance and operations
• Provides a daily plan for front-line supervisors
• Helps field repairs coordinate work with shop and construction forces
• Performance reporting allows upper management to judge maintenance progress
• Reduces the time required for critical shutdowns or overhauls
• Provides a tool for operations to assign priorities
