Frequently Asked Questions
Equipment Management is a process used to control, monitor, calibrate, and maintain all equipment within a company. It involves managing currently available equipment for use, monitoring the performance of equipment, determining when maintenance and repairs are needed, as well as providing user training for safe and efficient operation.
Effective equipment management is essential to produce reliable results quickly with minimal risk. Poorly managed equipment can lead to production delays, increased costs, and safety issues in the manufacturing process. Proper care of equipment helps ensure its longevity as well as improves overall productivity in the workplace.
Equipment management software is a tool that allows you to streamline the management and control of equipment registration, calibration, qualification, and maintenance tasks.
The software offers a simple way to register new equipment, select relevant equipment categories, schedule calibration tasks, view the equipment history, automate notifications and reminders regarding upcoming activities, relate products to equipment, create maintenance plans, and more.
SimplerQMS equipment management software is an integral part of a complete eQMS solution. We offer all core QMS modules, including document control, change management, training management, and others.
An equipment workflow in the SimplerQMS solution starts with registering new equipment.
You can determine the equipment type between quality critical or standard. In the first case, equipment needs to be calibrated and qualified before approval. Standard equipment does not require calibration and can be approved faster.
The software allows the scheduling of periodic tasks and one-time assignments to ensure calibration, maintenance, cleaning, and/or other related activities are performed on time.
The system automatically notifies assigned people of required actions and due dates.
Equipment can be reclassified, if necessary, and archived when no longer in use.
