Representative company scenario

120-person automotive parts plant

Maintenance requests outgrow the whiteboard

See how a growing component plant can replace paper, messages, and verbal requests with one accountable work queue.

The operating situation

Where the maintenance process starts to break down

Supervisors raise maintenance requests through paper, messages, and conversations on the floor. The maintenance manager starts each morning by determining what is urgent, who owns each job, and which items were carried over. Production can see that work was requested, but not whether it is assigned, blocked, or complete.

  • The same request appears in more than one channel
  • Ownership depends on who attended the morning meeting
  • Overdue work is found manually
  • Closure evidence is inconsistent or missing

Workflow with Corivo

From plant-floor signal to usable maintenance history

The goal is not another reporting layer. It is one connected path from the first request to completed, reusable equipment context.

  1. 01

    Capture every request consistently

    Each request enters Corivo with an asset, plant, priority, due date, description, and reporter instead of becoming an unstructured note.

  2. 02

    Plan from one maintenance queue

    The manager filters work by line, status, risk, technician, or due date and assigns jobs without rebuilding the list in a spreadsheet.

  3. 03

    Give technicians a focused view

    Technicians see assigned work, comments, checklists, parts, and status in one place. Updates become visible without another message thread.

  4. 04

    Review work with evidence

    Completed jobs retain labor, notes, timing, and closure evidence, creating a more reliable morning review and asset history.

Operational value

What this workflow makes easier to control

These are workflow outcomes the scenario is designed to support, not promised performance percentages.

  • One source of truth for corrective maintenance
  • Clear ownership and due dates
  • Less time spent rebuilding the daily maintenance list
  • A traceable record of completed and carried-over work
