Work Order System
Asset Essentials by Brightly:
The Maintenance & Operations Department's mission is to support District sites. The most efficient way services can be provided in a timely way is through utilizing M&O's automated work order system.
So what happens to all those work orders? This is the process:
- A work order is submitted to the Maintenance & Operations Department
- Assigned staff review each request, obtaining more complete information from the site if needed
- Pictures are appreciated and help expedite processing
- If approved, the work order is scheduled; if it is "declined," the reason is entered in the "Comments" section of the work order.
- Work orders are completed in priority order and first in, first out
- M&O will set or adjust the work order priority based on the type of request (see priority list below). The default on the work order is medium unless the site selects EMERGENCY. Feel free to enter a requested completion date and priority notice in the description field for non-emergencies. REFER TO THE WORK ORDER FOR UPDATES
- When contacting M&O for updates, always reference the work order number
*Note: If the work is an emergency, the site should call the M&O office immediately and then submit a work order, noting that M&O was called

Maintenance work that has been identified in advance, but cannot be completed at the time of identification because of heavy facility use, material procurement, availability of M&O staff.

As determined by M&O
Scheduled (As scheduled)
May include Preventative Maintenance. Includes planned preventative maintenance routines and programs, including air filter changes, fire alarm testing, painting, mechanical equipment service, etc.
Projects that may involve planning and design work. Deferred Maintenance and or Site Improvement Project requests. This process requires a Cost Estimate to be performed by M&O Management or to provide the requester of the project with a budget estimate.
