Company Overview:
The Challenge
Manual Handling of Visitor Lodging Room Issues
Managing visitor accommodations manually proved to be a significant hurdle. The process was not only time-consuming but also led to long wait times and inefficient use of resources. Visitors often faced delays, and the lack of an automated system meant that issues were not promptly addressed.
Internal Ticketing Using Challans Poses Challenges
Internal ticketing for maintenance issues, such as broken air conditioning units, was managed using challans. This method was cumbersome, leading to ineffective communication and delays in problem resolution. As a result, productivity suffered, and the company needed a more streamlined approach.
Time-consuming and Inefficient Inventory Management
Inventory management was another critical area where inefficiency prevailed. Using paper or Excel sheets to keep track of inventory in each camp led to delays in restocking materials. This inefficiency not only increased operational costs but also caused disruptions in camp activities, which could have serious repercussions for ongoing operations.
Data Accuracy Risks
Recording inventory details on paper introduced a high risk of data inaccuracies. Misunderstandings and errors in data entry could lead to inventory shortages or surpluses, both of which pose significant challenges to the smooth functioning of mining operations. Ensuring data accuracy was thus a critical need for the company.
The Solution
Creation of a Maintenance System for Company-wide Issue Reporting
The FMS app was equipped with specific dashboards tailored for different user roles, including admins, supervisors, visitors, housekeeping, and maintenance staff. This customization allowed for efficient issue reporting and management, ensuring that problems were addressed swiftly and effectively.
A dedicated mobile app was introduced, allowing visitors and employees to report issues directly. This innovation significantly improved communication, sped up resolution times and ensured that all issues were logged and tracked properly. By making it easier to report problems, the app facilitated a more responsive and efficient maintenance process.
FMS Maintenance Dashboard
Using Power BI, the FMS maintenance dashboard provided powerful insights into maintenance activities. It categorized maintenance types, tracked the status of various issues, and provided detailed reports on maintenance staff performance. This data-driven approach enabled more informed decision-making and improved overall maintenance efficiency.
The FMS app also featured streamlined administrative controls, ensuring that only authorized personnel could edit relevant fields. This security measure reduced the risk of unauthorized changes and enhanced data integrity, contributing to more reliable and accurate records.
