Many smaller organisation still rely on paper-based documents and records, spreadsheets and maybe a white board to manage their fleet maintenance program.

To meet this challenge IPWEA has partnered with Connected Asset Management to provide a Maintenance Planning Tool (MPT) for IPWEA FLEET subscribers with small fleets (fleets with less than 250 assets). The IPWEA MPT is not a full fleet management information system but an electronic system that allows organisations to move to an electronic maintenance system and robust maintenance processes at low cost.

The MPT uses standardised IPWEA fleet classifications and maintenance codes to support quality data capture and recording and to help manage risk associated with fleet maintenance operations.

The MPT provides an asset register and enables the electronic generation of work requests, work orders, workshop scheduling, workshop management and reporting. The tool uses leading-edge technology that eliminates redundant data fields, simplifies data input and presents the user with an easy to use, yet highly functional application. Real-time access to maintenance and repair history, and asset register details, enables workshops to plan, direct and control service delivery. This results in maximum asset availability with minimal disruption to operational activities.

The IPWEA MPT can be accessed on portable devices in the office, workshop and field, simplifying real time collaboration with stakeholders. Access to the MPT is provided as an application subscription service, with access via desktops, laptops, tablets and mobile phones.

If you’re a smaller organisation using a paper-based system, spreadsheets, or a rudimentary database, switching to the IPWEA MPT will enable you to manage your fleet with modern tools, from anywhere and from any device.
