A wizard wheeze for maintenance management
15 Jan 2000
New to the UK, Wizard Information Systems' maintenance and operation management package, DVS v4.0, is designed for ease of use. `If you can use a word processor, you can operate DVS,' claims Wizard.
The system can be used to manage tasks such as machine maintenance, regular and special cleaning operations, regular repairs and complete overhauls. DVS offers users a view of forthcoming tasks and a history of completed operations; quick data on stores, spares and suppliers; and automatic scheduling of recurring tasks. Other features include advanced user-defined database searches and reports. The system can be configured for multiple users, with several users updating the database at the same time.
Applications for DVS include maintenance of pumps, centrifuges, compressors, fans and boilers. An introductory course helps to apply the system to different manufacturing environments.
