Concepts Tasks Settings Tracking Work Delays Managing and reducing work delays can significantly improve the efficiency of the maintenance department, reduce costs, and decrease downtime. In order to reduce work delays, you will need to know where and why the delays are happening. For example, if the tradespeople spend a lot of time waiting for parts, using satellite storerooms or issue bins where commonly used parts are kept close to the equipment might reduce that delay time. You can enter work delay time when you fill in timecards for a work order task. You can enter the length of the delay, and the reason for the delay. You can enter timecards in the following ways: • When reporting activity for a work order task (see Reporting Work Activity for a Work Order Task) • When entering labor charges from a schedule (see Entering Labor Charges on an Availability Schedule) • When entering a timecards on a timesheet (see Entering Timecards)
