Maintenance Tasks

Maintenance Tasks define the individual maintenance activities that can be performed on an asset, such as inspections, services, adjustments, and component replacements. Each task acts as a template for work orders, outlining the standard labour, parts, tools, and service requirements needed to complete the work.

Tasks form the foundation of your maintenance strategy. They determine what maintenance is done, how often it occurs, who performs it, and what resources are required. When linked to an asset, tasks can automatically generate Work Orders based on time, usage, or condition, ensuring maintenance happens consistently and on schedule.

Each task also includes detailed information for planning and cost control, such as:

• Labour requirements and standard times
• Parts and consumables used during maintenance
• External services or contractors involved
• Tools and equipment required
• Scheduling parameters for frequency and planning horizons

Tasks are the key data source for maintenance forecasting and life cycle costing. Because they define the parts, labour, and service costs for each maintenance event, they enable accurate cost projections and help measure the total cost of ownership over the asset’s life.

In summary, tasks describe how an asset will be maintained throughout its life cycle — providing the structure for preventive maintenance, cost management, and long-term asset reliability.
