Work requests now can be made online Last year, Facilities Management purchased a new computerized maintenance management system called Maximo. Now the work order component has been successfully implemented and a “self-service work request” has been launched. Its main feature enables users to submit work requests through a Web page. The system will assign an automatic work request/work order number for future reference. It also permits users to check the status of previously submitted work requests and get detailed information on them. The Web page consists of four screens: 1) log-in screen, 2) main menu, 3) add work request, and 4) check work requests. Claudie Boujaklian, manager of customer service, says that the facility went into operation Dec. 17, and a database is being developed of potential users. Claudie asks that the names of potential service requestors be sent to cmikos@alcor.concordia.ca, and they will be provided with a username and password. “Navigating the Self-Service Work Request is fairly simple,” Claudie said, “but should you have difficulties, we would be more than happy to assist you with a brief training session.” Visit the Facilities and Management Web page at http://www.concordia.ca/facilities. |
