A work request is a document that allows people outside of the maintenance group to submit a request to repair an asset. For example, anyone in a plant could submit a work request if they see a safety guard missing from a piece of equipment. Work requests can be turned into work orders. They are automatically marked as “work completed” when the work order is closed.
