SME Maintenance - MRP

The SME Maintenance - MRP feature tightly integrates the Maintenance and Manufacturing modules to ensure that machine upkeep is not bypassed during manufacturing processes.

A new menu item titled "Maintenance Request Schedule" is added under the Configuration tab of the Maintenance module. Within this menu, users can define maintenance thresholds using two key scenarios:

Scenario 1 – On MO Confirmation Threshold

Users can configure a rule to trigger a mandatory maintenance check after a set number of MO confirmations. When the confirmation threshold is reached, a pop-up warning prevents the MO from being confirmed. This pop-up includes a “Request Maintenance” button that opens the standard Odoo maintenance request form inline, allowing users to create a maintenance request without leaving the MO screen.

Blocking Confirmation – The MO cannot be confirmed until the associated maintenance is completed.

Scenario 2 – Work Center Usage Threshold

Users can specify a limit for the number of times a Work Center is used. Once this limit is reached, a maintenance check becomes mandatory before any new MO involving the Work Center can be started—either from the MO form or the Shop Floor.

Blocking Work Order Start – The work order cannot be started until the maintenance is completed.

Shop Floor Integration – A blocking pop-up appears in the Shop Floor view when trying to start a blocked operation.

Key Features

1. Prevents MO confirmation or work order start until maintenance is completed.
2. Adds a "Request Maintenance" button for immediate action on the pop-up.
3. Includes fields for Operations, Quality Checks, and MO Confirmation thresholds.
4. Works with standard Odoo maintenance request forms.
5. Tracks Work Center usage for triggering scheduled maintenance.
6. Ensures compliance across both MO form and Shop Floor interface.

Example Use Case

A Work Center is configured to require maintenance after every 10 work orders. Once the 10th MO is processed, the next MO will trigger a pop-up in both the MO form and Shop Floor view, blocking further action. The user must submit and complete a maintenance request before proceeding.

Conclusion

The SME Maintenance - MRP feature enhances reliability in manufacturing by enforcing maintenance workflows before production continues. It eliminates the risk of unmaintained equipment affecting product quality or causing downtime, and integrates directly into existing MRP and maintenance operations for seamless compliance and efficiency.
