Work Types - Best Practice

  • 1.  Work Types - Best Practice

    Posted 5 hours ago

    I am wanting to get opinions on Work Type best practices.

    For example, we currently have the work type CM (Corrective Maintenance), but I was asked if we can remove that and add:

    • Facility Corrective Maintenance
    • Robot Corrective Maintenance
    • Auxiliary Corrective Maintenance
    • Press Corrective Maintenance

    The goal is that it makes categorization of work orders easier.

    I can see the point but am concerned we could get into too many work types by breaking it down into so many subtypes.  

    Or is this a good use case for making Work Types specific by Asset Classification?  The request is not for every asset classification, but I think mainly the most common.

    I'm curious what others who have been in this a while would suggest.

    Thank you in advance,
