Which of the following comprehensive computerized maintenance system database modules would be used to generate a report tracking consumable supplies consumption?
• Difference between planning work and tracking what was used to do the work • How consumables (grease, filters, rags, chemicals, paint, etc.) are recorded and deducted from stock • Which module is primarily about on‑hand quantities and usage history of parts and stores
• Ask yourself: Which module would most likely store current stock levels and automatically reduce quantities whenever items are issued or used? • Which option sounds more like it handles ordering items versus actually recording how much has been used over time? • For tracking consumption, do we care more about when jobs are scheduled, when items are ordered, or how stock levels change after use?
• Be sure the module you choose is directly tied to stock levels and usage records, not just work schedules. • Eliminate any option that mainly deals with requesting or ordering items rather than recording what has been consumed. • Confirm that your choice could reasonably produce a usage/consumption report over a period of time.
