Page 2 of 8Process Flow
Chronos CMMS is composed of eight integrated modules to perform specific tasks in maintenance management operations.
The core functionalities of Chronos CMMS are depicted in the diagram above.
1. Equipment information is combined with predictive or unscheduled tasks that automatically trigger Work Orders. Work Orders can be triggered from dates, meter readings, process or equipment variables.
2. Job orders are generated complete with work plans and resource requirements. Once generated, the detail job order will be forwarded to the respective maintenance crews for execution.
3. Upon completion of the job order, the maintenance crew shall update it to the system to reflect the actual work that was done and the resources used..
4. The job order is then closed and the information becomes part of the equipment's permanent service history.
5. With an accumulation of data in the history, report database, and captured from machine directly (optional), an alert system (via messaging, SMS or email) can be configured to closely monitor mission-critical equipment & machine. The data will also serve to provide a basis for executing iterative improvements to the entire maintenance process.

Event Maintenance (EM) Module
Chronos CMMS EM Module is for operators or maintenance crews to record all unscheduled maintenance events or requisitions such as breakdown, abnormality, services needed and other corrective measures.
•
It converts maintenance requisition into Event Work Order (WO) for subsequent monitoring and follow up its corrective measures.•
To record detail WO upon completion of work for subsequent analysis of maintenance cost for each WO which involves labor, parts and downtime (if any) etc.•
A common FORUM is provided for each WO to enable user to share their comments with peers.•
Workflow control (from requisition Æ approval Æ execution Æ feedback) is in place for each WO such as; Material Requisition Form – for spare parts request.
Service Requisition Form – for corrective measures to rectify specific issue.
Purchase Requisition Form – for purchasing of parts / services
•
It links with Alert System – configurable to trigger targeted users group for critical maintenance issues occurred or long outstanding WO within specific time frame etc.•
Besides, it minimizes the error of duplicating same event booking such as by prompting user if duplicated events are being reported.Chronos CMMS

Management, scan tag barcode to pick-out spares per Work Order with detail Lot/Serial No traceability, send out used spares for repair etc.
IN Process OUT Process
•
The process flow: During receiving (IN, increase of stocks): Goods Receiving from Suppliers Æ
generate special tracking barcode with serial no to paste at the item Æ put-away to stock into parts store.
During issuing (OUT, reduce of stocks): Based on PRF, WO, user to pick the right item, barcode scanning to verify it, and issue out.
Based on IN / OUT approach, system will record all inventory movement transactions, and to calculate its stock levels in real time basis.
