Standard Operating Procedure

Registry ID: TR-EQUIPMEN

Equipment Maintenance Management System (EMMS) Framework

1. System Overview & Purpose

Purpose: To track, schedule, and report on the operational health of physical assets. Scope: Includes preventative maintenance (PM) scheduling, service logs, cost tracking, and SLA compliance. Update Cadence: Real-time logging upon maintenance completion; weekly dashboard review for procurement/scheduling adjustments.

2. Column Definitions & Validation Rules

Field Name	Data Format	Required	Validation Rule
Asset ID	Alphanumeric	Yes	Unique Key (e.g., EQ-001)
Asset Name	Text	Yes	N/A
Last Maint. Date	Date	Yes	`ISDATE()`
Status	Dropdown	Yes	{Active, Pending, Maintenance, Retired}
Next Due Date	Date	Yes	`> Last Maint. Date`
Criticality	Dropdown	Yes	{Low, Medium, High, Mission Critical}
Maintenance Cost	Currency	No	`> 0`
Days Until Due	Integer	No	`Next Due Date - TODAY()`

3. Complete Master Data Table

Asset ID	Asset Name	Last Maint.	Status	Next Due	Criticality	Cost ($)	Days Due
EQ-001	CNC Lathe	2023-10-15	Active	2024-04-15	High	450	14
EQ-002	Forklift A	2024-01-10	Maintenance	2024-04-01	Medium	120	0
EQ-003	HVAC Unit	2023-12-01	Active	2024-06-01	Low	0	61
EQ-004	Robotic Arm	2024-02-20	Active	2024-05-20	Mission Critical	1200	49
EQ-005	Air Comp.	2024-03-01	Active	2024-04-01	High	85	0
EQ-006	Conveyor B	2023-11-15	Active	2024-05-15	Medium	200	44
EQ-007	Laser Cutter	2024-01-20	Active	2024-07-20	Mission Critical	350	110
EQ-008	Drill Press	2024-03-10	Active	2024-09-10	Low	0	162
EQ-009	Generator	2023-09-01	Active	2024-03-01	Mission Critical	900	-31
EQ-010	Weld Robot	2024-02-15	Pending	2024-04-15	High	0	14

4. Formulas & Calculation Logic

Days Until Due: =IF(E2="","",E2-TODAY())
Status Flag (Conditional Formatting Logic): =H2<=0 (Triggers Red fill if past due/due today).
Total Maintenance Spend: =SUM(G2:G11)
Asset Lookup: =XLOOKUP("EQ-004", A2:A11, B2:B11)
Maintenance Health Score: =COUNTIFS(H2:H11, ">0") / COUNTA(A2:A11)

5. Summary KPI Dashboard

Metric	Calculation / Formula
Total Assets	`=COUNTA(A2:A11)`
Past Due Assets	`=COUNTIF(H2:H11, "<=0")`
Total Spend YTD	`=SUM(G2:G11)`
Avg Cost per Asset	`=AVERAGEIF(G2:G11, ">0")`
System Status	`=IF(COUNTIF(H2:H11, "<=0")>2, "CRITICAL", "STABLE")`

6. Standard Operating Workflow

Initialization: Define all fixed assets in the Master Data Table. Assign unique IDs.
Daily Log: Upon completion of any service event, update Last Maint. Date, Maintenance Cost, and reset Next Due Date per manufacturer specs.
Flagging: Monitor the Days Due column; use Conditional Formatting to trigger a Red background for any value <= 7 (one-week buffer).
Reporting: Monthly, export the table to PDF/CSV for budget approval.
Audit: Ensure all Mission Critical assets have a verified Next Due Date within the current quarter.
