Odoo Maintenance: Equipment & Preventive Maintenance Guide

Maintenance Module Overview

Odoo Maintenance manages equipment lifecycle: from acquisition to maintenance to retirement. It supports preventive maintenance (scheduled) and corrective maintenance (breakdown repairs), with teams, work orders, and KPI tracking.

Equipment Setup

# Maintenance → Equipment → Create
# Equipment: CNC Machine #3
# Category: CNC Machines
# Location: Factory Floor, Bay 3
# Assigned To: Machine Operator Team
# Owner: Manufacturing Department
# Serial: CNC-2024-003
# Model: Haas VF-2
# Vendor: Haas Automation
# Purchase Date: 2024-06-15
# Warranty Expiry: 2027-06-15
# Cost: $85,000

# Maintenance parameters:
# MTBF Target: 720 hours (mean time between failures)
# MTTR Target: 4 hours (mean time to repair)

Preventive Maintenance

# Schedule recurring maintenance:
# Maintenance → Maintenance → Create (Preventive)

# PM Schedule:
# Task: Oil Change — every 500 operating hours
# Task: Filter Replacement — every 1,000 hours
# Task: Belt Inspection — every 2,000 hours
# Task: Full Service — every 5,000 hours
# Task: Annual Calibration — every 12 months

# Each PM generates:
# - Maintenance request on schedule
# - Assigned to maintenance team
# - Checklist of items to inspect/replace
# - Parts needed (linked to inventory)

Corrective Maintenance

# When equipment breaks down:
# 1. Operator submits maintenance request
#    "CNC #3 — spindle vibration, unusual noise"
# 2. Request appears in Maintenance team kanban
# 3. Technician assigned, priority set
# 4. Diagnosis: worn spindle bearing
# 5. Parts ordered (if not in stock)
# 6. Repair completed, time logged
# 7. Equipment back in service
# 8. Root cause documented

Maintenance Teams

# Maintenance → Configuration → Teams
# Team: Mechanical
#   Members: 3 technicians
#   Specialties: CNC, hydraulics, pneumatics

# Team: Electrical
#   Members: 2 technicians
#   Specialties: PLC, motors, wiring

# Team: IT/Software
#   Members: 1 technician
#   Specialty: CNC software, network

Integration with Manufacturing

• Equipment linked to work centers (MRP)
• Equipment downtime blocks production scheduling
• Maintenance requests from production operators
• Equipment availability affects capacity planning
• Maintenance cost allocated to production orders
