The Spectades Planning & Scheduling Suite solution is an integrated part of HxGN EAM. Planning happens on the basis of a work order, which is entered into the system and records the ‘what’, ‘where’ and ‘when’ of the work to be done. One important advantage the system has to offer when recording a request is that it very quickly shows which people, with which specific qualities, are available to implement a work order. The system is able to do this because it is not necessary to create a separate database; instead, your employees and their availability are transferred from HxGN EAM to the suite. Availability is set as standard at eight hours a day for working days (Monday to Friday inclusive) or for a 24/7 continuous schedule. Although this is usually enough, you will be able to use any work schedules you have defined yourself in a later update too.
