Breakdown order
Inform maintenance Technician/ foreman/ Engineer/ Manager whenever a breakdown of equipment occurs,
detailing the problem encountered, time, possible causes etc.
The maintenance Foreman/Engineer will identify the problem along with the Equipment user, and organize
the required resources and assign the job to technician who will execute the task.
Foreman/Engineer will inspect the performed task on equipment and hand over it to end user.
Foremen/Engineer generate breakdown order in SAP, update the details like cause, remedial action taken,
future preventive action plan, manpower confirmation, downtime details(if applicable) etc.

available in stock, the purchase requisition will be raised through SAP. Meanwhile possible rectification of
the problem will be done and give feedback to Department manager
