BENEFITS

One Application to rule them all

The biggest problem clients face is the lack of one centralized system that gives them insight into all parameters needed to make First Time Right decisions. OXplus Capacity Planner gives you:

  • Data-driven dispatching, assigning and maintenance planning;
  • Full visibility of Service and Maintenance Capacity, Planning and Work Management;
  • Autonomous “First Time Right” decision making for dispatching of Service Requests;
  • (Automatically) Autonomous Maintenance Scheduling.

FIRST TIME RIGHT

Supported Business Processes

OXplus Capacity Planner brings a centralized environment that collects all necessary data and presents it practically and intelligibly. Besides, the Capacity Planner can also automate several processes, taking care of simple decisions and removing redundant work. By making the processes faster, providing more insight into data, and allowing the employees to focus on more pressing cases, the system increases First Time Right decisions and optimizes the overall process efficiency. This way companies can regain insight into their fleet’s and depots’ capacity and availability, eventually decreasing the number of faulty decisions.

Capacity Planner Processes

ELEMENTS

OXplus Capacity Planner

Maintenance Priority Calculation

Maintenance work orders as well preventive or corrective will be prioritized.

Prioritization is based on:

  • Failure Class;
  • Fleet availability / Fleet type;
  • Due date (days to go);
  • Repair time (duration of work).

Service Window Creation

Timetable based planning and scheduling.

Based on train schedule / timetable a service window for every train is calculated and visualized.

Service Dispatching

Ability and visibility to dispatch Service Requests to service locations based on:
Train schedule / timetable, duration of the required service / maintenance and the capacity of locations.

Automated Planning & Scheduling

Based on constraints the most optimal maintenance planning is created automatically and autonomously.

Fleet Control

Your entire Fleet Status at a glance!
