Abstract

Garment factories include a variety of machines and equipment. The breakdown of any machine or equipment lead to disruptions in the production process and loss of productivity. Consequently, the maintenance system emerges as a pivotal factor in the realm of garment manufacturing to enhance the life cycle of equipment. Maintenance is the action to retain or to fix or to restore an item in a state in which it can perform its function. Maintenance is divided into two main procedures, preventive and corrective. Maintenance management is a collection of activities designed to formulate maintenance objectives, strategies, and responsibilities. The escalating volume of accessible information and a rising demand for immediate access to it for decision-making underscore the essential role of a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) in supporting maintenance management. Odoo Maintenance refers to the maintenance management functionalities provided by the Odoo Enterprise Resource Planning system, it’s an open-source business management software that integrates various applications to streamline and automate different aspects of a business.

In this paper, CMMS was implemented using Odoo Maintenance in one of the ready-made garment factories instead of using traditional work papers, as it had a clear impact in creating databases for the factory’s maintenance management, communicating easily between the maintenance team, and dividing the equipment according to different categories. Create preventive and corrective maintenance requests and track the procedures performed on each piece of equipment, display the maintenance calendar for the equipment, and create various maintenance reports and graphs that are easy to analyze.
